A plague of flies in the house is a real nightmare for many people. They sit on everything and spread bacteria throughout the house. That’s why we want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. For this purpose, we usually use various products available in stores. These are all kinds of sprays, glues, poisons, and even electric lamps that literally roast everything that falls into them. Some of these solutions are effective, but their use can be dangerous. Especially when it comes to sprays and poisons that can get into our respiratory tract or digestive system and irritate them. They are also not recommended when we have small children or animals at home. Similarly with lamps.
