How to Keep Flies Away Outdoors
- 1). Purchase a really good spray bottle that has a sturdy sprayer head on it. Smaller, reused sprayer bottles don't work quite as well as the sprayer nozzle tends to quit working very easily, so don't scrimp. You can buy these at just about any home improvement store.
- 2). Purchase a good brand of hydrogen peroxide so it will be fresh. Fill the bottle to about 1/4-1/3 with the peroxide and fill the rest of the bottle with plain tap water.
- 3). Spray the entire area with this solution, especially around areas that will hold food or sticky drinks. You don't have to soak it, just mist the surfaces and the outer perimeter of the area fairly well.
- 4). Respraying may be necessary every so often as hydrogen peroxideHydrogen breaks down into other elements fairly quickly, but going around the edges of the area should help.
- 5). Keep your bottle handy, as it is also good for other insects as well.
