Say goodbye to fruit flies and mosquitoes forever – the paper towel trick changes everything

Moldy food

Strange as it may sound, this is actually what lured these little creatures in the first place, perhaps not to your home, but to the supermarket and they were carried on to fruits and vegetables afterward.

Replace liquids with spoiled food in a trap. Fruit or vegetables will also work.

Submerge the pot under the water as soon as it becomes full of insects.

Milk, pepper, and sugar:

Heat 500 ml of milk, and add 8 tbsp. tablespoons of white sugar, add 4 tbsp. black pepper.

Leave it to simmer for 10 minutes.

Then leave this potion in a covered deep container like the previous bars.

Flies are attracted to the sweet scent.

They will stay there.

Lemon-scented spray:

Mix 500ml (2 cups) of hot water and 10-15 drops of lemon oil in a clean bottle and spray on your kitchen surfaces. If the problem persists.

Mix 1000ml (4 cups) of hot water and 2 tbsp.

Lemon-scented dish soap and spray-infested plants.

Tip: Keep in mind that it takes more than a week, almost two weeks, to get rid of fruit flies completely because they multiply very quickly by laying eggs.

Keep the kitchen, counters, and refrigerator clean at all times. 

Especially when it’s very hot.
