9 Surprising, Strange, And Effective Ways To Keep Flies Away

According to Natural and Healthy Living, flies hate the scent of lavender, which is lovely for you, because it really smells and looks beautiful!

If you plant lavender in your garden near your doorways, flies are much less likely to buzz into your home. If you have lavender planted in your garden, then you can snip some of it to bring inside on a regular basis.

According to Experience Essential Oils, eucalyptus oil is a natural repellent of flies.

Drip a couple of drops of eucalyptus oil on scraps of fabric, or place them into containers near windows and doors. However, avoid this method if you are pregnant or have had a reaction to eucalyptus oils before. Instead, use one of the other listed choices.

Much like lavender and basil, flies and mosquitos hate the smell of lemongrass.

Lemongrass is actually the plant from which citronella is derived. You can diffuse the essential oil in your home to keep the pesky insects away.
