Flies and mosquitoes are more than nuisances—they can transmit diseases. Here’s how to keep them at bay:

Eliminate Standing Water: Empty and clean containers like birdbaths and gutters to prevent mosquito breeding.

Maintain Cleanliness: Keep kitchens tidy, dispose of garbage promptly, and use sealed bins to reduce attractants for flies.

Install Barriers: Use window and door screens, and repair any gaps to block entry.

Natural Repellents:
-Essential Oils: Citronella, lavender, and eucalyptus repel pests.
-Herbs: Basil, mint, and marigolds deter insects.
-Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon or sticks repel flies and fruit flies.

Homemade Traps:
-For flies: Use a jar with apple cider vinegar, dish soap, and plastic wrap.
-For mosquitoes: Combine hot water, sugar, and yeast in a bottle.

Use Fans: Mosquitoes struggle to fly against air currents; fans deter them in outdoor spaces.

Manage Waste Properly: Seal garbage, clean bins, and recycle responsibly.

Professional Help: For severe infestations, consult pest control experts.

By combining these strategies, you can ensure a comfortable and pest-free home.
