Effective Remedy Texans Use to Kill Flies, Mosquitoes, and Bugs

(KNUE-FM) Living in Texas is a dream come true, but everyone knows those annoying mosquitoes are going to pop up, especially in the warmer months. We all hate them, but you know what to expect. Even if you keep your kitchen sparkling clean, you’re going to see a few flies hanging around, but there was something online that should eliminate that problem for you. And anything we can do to eliminate flies and mosquitos buzzing around is always a good thing.

I must admit that I probably have more flies in my kitchen than most as my dogs have a door they can open, that is close to the kitchen, so we spend more time than I want to admit trying to knock down these annoying creatures. Which is why I was excited to hear about this simple concoction of household items that can help eliminate your issues with flies, bugs, and mosquitos.

Ingredients to Eliminate the Annoying Flying Pests

This life hack to kill all those flies, bugs, and mosquitoes was posted on social media by a group called Texas Pet Rescue and it’s just three ingredients. You will need

½ cup of vinegar

½ cup of olive oil (or other vegetable oil)

½ cup of shampoo

Pretty Simple Directions to Follow

First, mix all the ingredients together in a container you’re okay with throwing away after this process. Next you will place the bowl/container in the area that attracts annoying pests. Leave the mixture out for a few hours and you will see how quickly it works.
