Natural Fly & Insect Killer: A Safe & Effective DIY Solution

Summer brings flies indoors, especially when you are cooking. Here is a foolproof way to kill them without flyswatters or pesticides. This method also works outdoors around picnic tables, plants or just about anywhere. It also is a repellent to nearby insects. Keep this mixture for on-the-spot use, but away from children. This should not be used on pets.

  • Put about 20 drops of any kind of dish detergent into a spray bottle that holds about 16 oz. I find that empty Windex bottles work well, or any kind of similar sized bottle. The measurements are only approximate, and you can adjust to your own needs.

  • Put about a teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide into the bottle. Fill the bottle about 3/4 full of water, and shake.

  • Spray flies or other insects on windows or wherever they land, QUICKLY, several times. Saturate them. They will die almost immediately. Clean up with paper towel.
