Why Do Flies Keep Coming to Me?
WouterIf you’re tired of having to deal with flies around your house, you can try using a fly trap. These traps are made from dish soap and vinegar. When mixed together with a paper towel, flies will be attracted to the odor and fall into the liquid. You can also use commercial fly repellent. But remember to read the label and check the ingredients carefully to ensure they won’t harm you or your children.
The best repellents are those that mask the smell of humans and other objects. These repellents are typically used to repel mosquitoes, but they are also effective against most flies. You should look for those that contain DEET, because it overwhelms the flies’ sense of smell and prevents them from landing.
Flies do not actually target humans, but they are attracted to our bodies based on our scent. If we cover ourselves with something, they won’t land on us, but they will try to find a food source. Flies are particularly interested in the smell of sweat, dead skin, and salts. They also love the smell of perfumes and lotions and are often attracted to these scents.
While flies are not dangerous to humans, they are irritating. You may find them flying into your mouth when you talk, or onto food you’re sitting on the table. It’s not easy to kill them, and they’ll continue to fly around even after you’ve swatted them. Houseflies are usually just millimeters long and black in color.
