2. Natural fly trap
Spring and summer are ideal seasons for garden parties, which everyone enjoys except for one small nuisance: flies. To combat them, you can create a natural trap using just a few household items. You’ll need a large yogurt cup, a banana peel, a hammer, and a nail. Use the hammer and nail to make holes at the bottom of the yogurt cup, insert the banana peel inside, then flip the cup over and position it near the food you want to protect. Flies will be drawn in by the sweet scent through the holes, but they won’t be able to escape from the yogurt cup.
