Natural fly spray?

[helle]

Is there such a thing?

We have been invaded by flies inside and they're driving me nuts and I'm not patient enough to wait for then to drop off on their own. I hate using fly spray around DS and was hoping there was a natural chemical free option...

TIA!

You can try vinegar, I don't know that it kills them but I know they don't like it. Also chasing with a fly swat is good fun

[Eenee]

Don't think there is such thing as a natural one, even the one that say they have natural stuff still contain chemicals. Maybe try one of those bug zappers?? DH got one from bunning the other day.

There are oils and things which deter flies, like citronella does mozzies, google it.

We get them MASSIVELY bad here. We found, despite them being hideously ugly, and don't touch them you will stick to everything, that the pull out sticky fly tape works BRILLIANTLY. I hang a couple around the sliding door and the garage door where they get in in summer, and cuts the flies inside by at least 2/3.
Not sure what brand they are, but they come in little canister looking things, you open the tops and pull the tape out. It is covered in this sticky stuff that attracts them, their feet get stuck and they can't move. Sounds horrible, but they end up stuck there, not all over your floor, spazzing out spreading maggots everywhere as they die (which they do when you spray them) and there are no chemicals around my kids. Win win....cept for the fly....

And they are cheap as.

The fly attracting stickers are good too, but you have to replace them every 6 weeks or so and you will end up with a pile of dead flies on the window sill or floor beneath them.
