(the one where you fill a jar with bait and they all fester in there)
lavender? basil?
I am a clean person, but on the super hot days, I always find one fly, and since I live in a tiny nyc apt (garbage cans are right in front of the apt) even one fly can be SO gross and annoying, esp around dinner time bleeeeeeehhhhh

I read the tips online, but they are all general article tips - did anyone personally try a repellent that worked? I'll buy any plant ugh

I had a pitcher plant a few years ago that ate flies, that worked a treat. It died in the end, I suspect of hunger, when I got the cats and they started eating all the flies instead.

Omg...I totally understand.


I have been using the Jar and Vinegar trick. Seems to work pretty well.

OMG! thank you for asking this!!!

Since its been getting warmer, flies seem to pinpoint my front door to fly through the second it opens. I need something to keep them out.

I've read about a penny in a baggie filled with water. What is the jar and vinegar thing?
