Keep Flies Away This Summer with This Simple Lemon and Clove Hack
"Summer Solution: Simple Lemon and Clove Hack Promises Fly-Free Kitchens" As summer approaches, many homeowners face the perennial challenge of keeping flies out of their kitchens. A recent viral video from "Ideal Home Show" offers a surprisingly simple and inexpensive solution, claiming to provide a fly-free environment with just a lemon and a handful of cloves. The demonstration, which has garnered significant attention online, shows a user preparing the natural repellent. First, a lemon is cut in half. Then, whole cloves are inserted directly into the exposed flesh around the edges of the lemon. Once prepared, the lemon half is placed in a small bowl and positioned on a kitchen countertop or near an entry point like a back door. According to the "Ideal Home Show," this combination of lemon and cloves acts as a natural deterrent, encouraging flies to stay away. The video highlights the ease of the hack, suggesting it costs as little as 30p. While the scientific efficacy of this specific method is a subject of ongoing discussion among home remedy enthusiasts, its simplicity and natural components make it an appealing option for those seeking chemical-free alternatives to traditional insect repellents.
