Join me in my research…

Here is proof that last year was really bad for flies (and it wasn’t just our house!) and some tips to not attract them from stuff,co.nz

Did you read that idea about Peppermint and Mint plants being helpful?  Got those!  (And you can too.. )

This one has some interesting ideas… you’d have to have a lot of cucumber, no harm in having too much Basil though!

Ach!  These are just a bit glam, I really like them…

Good for when you’re cooking outdoors with your outdoor cooker or pizza oven!  (Gotta plug the hubby!!)

Lemon and cloves seem to be a popular idea, I did actually try this last season…perhaps I needed more than just one half of a lemon!

Or you could get one of these!

It seems the old water in a plastic bag is a common one too, we happen to have hooks around our doors so I’ll try this one this year.

What do you do?  Got any great ideas to share?  ‘Coz every little bit helps if they’re going to be as bad this year as last year!
