Flies can also carry bacteria. They are tiny creatures that, before flying into our homes and landing, perhaps, on food, have wandered outside, even in garbage and other organic matter.
If you’ve tried commercial insecticides and haven’t been able to eliminate the problem, try nature. Below we list the best plants to repel cockroaches, ants and flies without putting our health at risk.
Catnip. This plant is an unbeatable repellent and is especially effective against flies, as well as repelling ants and cockroaches.
Garlic. It has a penetrating smell that is practically hated by insects, who will stay away from it.
Basil. Not only useful in the kitchen, having a basil plant at home allows us to scare away flies and cockroaches.
Laurel. Although pleasant for us, the smell of bay leaves is unbearable for flies and cockroaches.
Lavender. Not only is it beautiful and produces gorgeous flowers, lavender is an excellent natural repellent that will keep cockroaches and flies away.
Cucumber. Place a few slices of cucumber where cockroaches or ants get into the house and you’ll see how it keeps them away.
