DIY Repellent Spray for Flies
How would you like a DIY repellent spray for your outdoor space?
J and I are determined to use our backyard to the fullest this summer. We love that it is fenced in, the patio is covered, and we especially love our new patio set. That’s the icing on the cake!
Last week I talked about repelling flies in our backyard here. J and I have worked on another home DIY treatment to rid our backyard of flies. A repellent spray for our patio furniture was what we were looking for.
Ingredients:
1) Pine-sol
2) Water
3) White Vinegar
In a spray bottle you want to mix 1 part Vinegar with 2 parts Pine-sol and 2 parts Water. Spray this mixture onto the patio furniture. I could instantly see how this spray was working. And I liked it!
Then I got a little carried away … I started spraying the siding of our house. It worked! One downfall of using this spray is the smell. It can be a bit overwhelming. Mainly smells like pine-sol, but that’s not a smell that I want lingering around for a long time.
But overall I love, love, love this repellent spray! I’m thinking that I will keep a bottle mixed and ready to go.
What products do you use around your home to repel flies?
Cheers!
