3 – A repellent based on lavender essential oil

Put a few drops of lavender essential oil on a sponge, then place it in a place frequented by flies and let it sit. Repeat the operation as soon as the smell has disappeared.

4- A natural repellent with lemon and cloves

This grandmother’s trick consists of cutting a lemon (preferably green) in half and then sticking about fifteen cloves on each side.
