Fruit flies
They are pesky little fellows, arenât they? And the scariest thing is that they simply come from nothing, as popping strangely and magically from the air! And they also seem to find the fruit that you like the most. That does not mean that you have to leave behind that part of the food you like so much.
- Instead of that you could make a trap for the little bugs of water and red wine. Put this mixture in a cup and create a funnel from a coffee filter and place it over the cup. In few days you will manage to see that the fruit flies will be trapped in the cup without having a way out to save themselves.
- They are not only incredibly insolent and nerve-breaking but also can bite. This is probably the worst combination (not only for bugs). Imagine you are having a glass of wine in front of the camp fire and those little fellows smell your blood from a distance. There is no escape from them. The same is the situation when you are trying to go to sleep and one of them has decided that it doesnât feel sleepy like you. It will break your nerves for sure.
To keep these things out of the room you can place lavender, catnip or plant some basil in a pot near the entrances of your home. That will surely keep them away and will turn out to be a great bug repellent.
