How to Get Rid of House Flies with Cloves

Steps

1. Take a sweet and ripe apple (any kind).
2. Take 20 ?30 cloves.
3. Place the cloves in to the apple all over it by inserting the clove into the apple (poking it into the apple) randomly all around the apple.
4. Place the newly clove-decorated apple on a plate and place it in the middle of the picnic table.
5. Watch. You will be amazed to see how all of a sudden all the flies disappear in a short time. They simply hate the subtle smell of the cloves[1] and will never come again to ?share your meal" as long as you have this ornamental Clove Apple on the table. Enjoy your food.

Tips

• There is a fly in your house and you want it out! As the sun goes down, turn off all the lights in the house and turn on the bathroom light. The fly will go to the bathroom where you can swat him.
• Flies often hang upside down on a warm ceiling at night and in the early morning. Put some liquid soap in a cup and add water so that you have a little froth on top. Then walk under a fly and just raise the glass to it. When the fly senses the danger it will drop a couple of inches in order to get flying. At that point it is stuck in the soapy water. You can kill a bunch of the little buggers with one glass.
• Buy whole cloves in the supermarket. They look like little sticks with a ball on the end. Push the stick part into the apple.
