Fruit flies enter our homes through open doors, windows, and drains. Trap them and kill them by mixing some apple cider vinegar and a few drops of liquid dish soap in a bowl or jar. Cover the top with saran wrap, then make holes in it. The fruit flies will climb into the jar, but they won’t be able to escape.
10. Citronella
To keep pests away from your outdoor spaces, spray with water and a few drops of citronella essential oil. Spray patio furniture and its surface with the solution. You can also buy citronella candles, although they are not as effective as oil.
