Flies can be extremely irritating when in the home, flying around and not seeming to ever find their way out.
While they are usually harmless, flies can be distressing and annoying.
Some flies can actually bite, sometimes leading to other health problems.
Despite being one of the most common pests, there are ways to get rid of flies from your home and stop them coming back.
One of the easiest and cheapest ways to get rid of flies is by using fly tape strips.
Fly tape strips cost around £1.99 to buy and can obliterate flies from your home, mid-flight.
Also called fly ribbon, fly tape works by attracting flies and then trapping them on the tape.
The tape is covered in a sticky, sweet substance which traps and poisons them
When placed around the house the tape can help get rid of the pests.
The tape is available to buy in rolls, with the tape tearing off for use around the house.
Another way to get rid of flies is by using a homemade fly trap.
This method is natural, as well as cheap and effective, proving popular in British homes.
The trap is made out of an old two-litre soda bottle, and it involves cutting into the top third of the empty bottle.
Filling the bottle with sugar water and turning it upside down will make a sugary trap that flies will not be able to resist, finding their way in but not being able to fly out.
Another trap is the vinegar and washing up liquid fly trap, which involves using a shallow bowl and filling it with apple cider vinegar, sugar and fruit scented washing up liquid.
Natural scents also work to deter flies, potentially keeping them at bay.
Flies are repelled by many scents, including citrus, cloves, lavender, pine and peppermint.
Keep your home chemical and fly free by dotting around citrus essential oil, burning citrus candles or getting a citrus plug-in air freshener.
Another pest invading Briton’s homes this season are false widow spiders.
False widow spiders have caused a number of schools to close due to an infestation. Express.co.uk revealed how to get rid of spiders.
