Woman shares 55p natural fly deterrent that makes your home smell lovely

While many Brits will no doubt welcome the warm weather we're enjoying at the moment with open arms, they'll be less fond of the pests which come with it. As our homes tend to trap heat in the summer, we might find ourselves living with the windows and doors open throughout the day.

This in-turn lets flies into the house, rabidly looking for that food you left on the counter or the sugary drink in your hand. And once they've infiltrated your home, it's often difficult to get them back out.

Even worse, is that flies tend to lay eggs in the warmer months too - so if you're not careful, you could have a full-on infestation of bluebottles and fruit flies buzzing around your head for what feels like an eternity. Luckily though, there are things you can do to banish them for good.
