Why Do Flies Keep Landing on Me?
WouterThe first question you may be asking is, “why do flies keep landing on me?” The answer is that flies are scavengers, and they often think of humans as a potential food source. It makes sense that they would be attracted to a human being, but there are also some other reasons.
First, flies like dead skin cells. They will’regurgitate’ on the surface of your body and feed on the resulting liquified substance. This is an ideal feeding environment for flies. Also, flies are attracted to carbon dioxide, which makes them attracted to people’s bodies.
Another reason flies will fly on you is because you smell good. Their sense of smell is highly tuned, and if they smell anything tasty, they will follow you. If your skin is covered with clothing, they will not land on you, but they will try. Moreover, flies like to buzz around your ears and face.
Keeping your home clean can help you to keep flies at bay. Dirty food, garbage, rotting food, and other sources of odor attract flies. So, you should keep your home clean and dry to avoid attracting flies. If you want to get rid of these pesky little critters, try incorporating some of these tips into your daily routine.
One way to keep flies away is to make a spray of cayenne pepper mixed with water and spray it around the perimeter of your home. Alternatively, you can plant Venus flytraps around your home, which are carnivorous plants that close in on flies and separate the insect’s interior from its gastrointestinal fluid. Venus flytraps will then spit out the broken flies. You can also try putting an air purifier in your room to keep flies away.
