Keep Flies Away From Your BBQ With This Simple Trick

Summertime Grilling: Simple Tricks to Keep the Flies Away. A recent video shared on social media demonstrates an unusual, yet effective, method for keeping flies away from food during outdoor barbecues. The method, shown by a user named Dil, involves burning Turkish coffee grounds mixed with coal from a lit barbecue. 'It's a little hack I was shown when I went to a restaurant in Cyprus,' explains Dil in the video. The video shows a small cup containing the burning mixture emitting smoke, which successfully repels flies. While many rely on commercial fly repellents, this simple, natural method offers an alternative. Experts suggest that the smoke from the burning coffee grounds and coal disrupts the flies' sense of smell and navigation, keeping them away from the food. This method is worth considering for those seeking a natural and readily available solution to a common summertime problem.
