What is the reason for so many flies in my house?
To understand why there are so many flies at home, you first have to take into account that they increase their activity during hot weather. This is because temperate climates are better for their development, so it is not common to see them in winter.
In addition to the mild climate, there may be some factors at home that encourage the appearance of flies:
- Leave food on surfaces, to which they have access
- Not having the garbage bags tightly closed. That is why it is advisable to put garbage cans with lids.
- Not cleaning regularly
- Have stagnant water in the house
- Living near landfills, or areas of stagnant water

In addition, we should not overlook that flies carry dirt and feces on their legs, and carry them everywhere they land, transmitting diseases. These are the main reasons for resorting to remedies and insecticide products for flies.
Mosquito nets and curtains to keep flies away from home
A very effective way to avoid having flies at home is to put mosquito nets on all the windows. After ventilating in the morning, it is advisable to resort to curtains or curtains on the doors, to make it more difficult for flies and all kinds of insects to access.
Fly traps
ne of the most effective ways to get rid of flies is to place our fly traps . These totally ecological traps catch flies thanks to a powerful attractant bait, 100% natural and made from natural plants. This bait is inside the trap, in a water-soluble bag.
To use it, simply fill the bag with water, producing a chemical process that will ferment the bait and attract the flies, which are finally trapped.
Keep water areas dry
Some more humid areas of the house such as the sink, the dish drainer or the bathroom can lead to the appearance of flies and wasps. To avoid this, the ideal is to keep these places as dry as possible. For example, after washing the dishes, it is better to dry them immediately. And the same will have to be done with the shower or the sink.
If faucet leaks, do not forget to fix it as soon as possible to prevent the area from always being wet.
