Unfortunately, your fruit bowl is one of the biggest attractions (besides you Food waste bin) for flies. As the fruit begins to overripe, its natural sugars begin to ferment, releasing a pungent odor that beckons love.
Because of this, it is advisable to say goodbye to your fruit bowl for good and store fruit in the fridge for summer. However, there are ways around this. For example, I use Lakeland’s £9.99 StayFresh Sheets in my fruit bowl, and they absorb aging ethylene gases to slow the ripening process. Or, Lidl’s new fruit basket provides a physical barrier to prevent flies from reaching your fruit.
Simple yet effective, the Silvercrest Fruit Basket consists of a basket and lid, made of wire mesh to create a breathable yet impenetrable barrier to flies and wasps. The lid can also be used as a food cover, making it ideal for protecting dishes when dining al fresco or protecting desserts. BBQs.

The bowl is large enough to hold a variety of fruits, while its attractive mint green colorway is a great way to add a pop of color to your kitchen ideas.
While this is a good deterrent against flies, a fruit bowl will not get rid of flies. The best way to reduce the amount of flies in your home is to practice good hygiene, not leaving food out, emptying food waste bins regularly and Clean out your food waste bin.
You can also use an odor blocker such as Cucumber to get rid of flies, Or you can make your own repellent with dish soap, water, and strong-smelling essential oils like peppermint, lavender, clove, lemongrass, and eucalyptus.
