How Ginger Can Banish Flies From Your Home
By JACQUELINE DELIBES
Flies inside the home can be an unwelcome annoyance, and by harnessing the repellent qualities of ginger, you can create an effective and non-toxic spray to keep them at bay.
To prepare this spray, you'll need a spray bottle, water, and soluble ginger powder. Select a ginger powder that is sugar-free so you don't inadvertently end up attracting flies.
Fill the bottle with water, add a packet of dried ginger powder, and mix well. Spray this solution near common entry points like windows, doors, and garbage areas to deter flies.
