UK households urged to sprinkle baking soda in bins this summer | UK | News
British households are asked to sprinkle baking soda in this summer boxes to deter them to enter the homes of flies into their homes.
Even though the warmer air always comes with its disadvantages, even though it is always a pleasant change after the cold temperatures and rain that lasts for months – one of them flies. Opening windows to allow a little fresh air in the summer may seem like a good idea, but invites home and fruit flies to enter. Only large, buzzing uninvited guests are not incredibly annoying when flying, but they are not too hygienic. Home flies carry more than 100 different pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, viruses and parasites, and it is known to transmit approximately 65 diseases. They can also contribute to food poisoning by spreading bacteria, so keeping them out in summer is the key.
Flies come out of hibernation in search of a place to lay temperature, food and eggs, and unfortunately our homes can provide ideal environment. However, there is a natural method that you can use to help keep them away, where baking powder comes into play.
Flies are drawn by both odor and light, boxes are ready for a ready -made food source and food wastes that provide a place to produce. In addition, boxes can provide a warm and sheltered environment for flies in summer, when temperatures are warmer.
Therefore, it is important to ensure that you regularly remove your boxes because the flies are drawn to dinner, but to address the smell coming out of your box is at first thing that will help keep the flies out.
Experts say it will help to neutralize baking soda under the garbage box, unpleasant odors from food waste and make your garbage much less attractive.
Baking soda also absorbs excess moisture without any spill leaking into your trash box and helps to keep it dry, thus becoming less reproductive for flies.
Sloane and Sons Bathtub chairs say: “A obvious way to prevent flies from entering your home is to eliminate attractive odors from your kitchen box in which rotten food wastes can easily provide perfect fly feast.
“Regularly sprinkle with a layered baking soda before inserting a new garbage box liner. Baking powder neutralizes scents and absorbs excess moisture, which makes your trash box less attractive to flies.
“For additional pushing, soak cotton wool balls in volatile oils such as mint or lavender and place them in the garbage box area. Strong odors serve as natural deterrers by keeping the flies away while refreshing your kitchen area.”
And if you want to strengthen your defenses, you can also try to turn off the exterior lights to help keep the flies away and close your night -to -day blinds or curtains.
