Flies – What Herbs Get Rid of Them?

Talk about bothersome, and pesty! Flies can put a damper on even the greatest party, or outing. Today I will show you what herbs work best to put a lid on these pesty little insects.

The ingredients of my herbal formula that might shoo off the common housefly are palmarosa, citronella, juniper and rose geranium.

I’ve seen other reported fly repellents include the oil of roots of sweet flag, extracts of the twigs of Kenyan myrrh, and extracts of the roots of Mexican Yellow Chapote. Other possibilities include bog myrtle, German Chamomile, Sandalwood, tomato and Vetiver.

Also do a Google search and see what pops up. I’m sure there are thousands of remedies out there to get rid of fly problems. The above are just some of the things that work for me and my family. Being outdoors is still a wonderful chance to be with the ones you love, and no-where is the common fly invited! Get rid of things around your home that may attract these pests, and that will aliveate some of the problems. Keep your doors shut, or at least have something that keeps them outside where they belong.

Until next time, have a great day, and Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there.
