The rainy season in Roraima is also the time when flies begin to appear more frequently. But do you know why? And how can you avoid insects? Check out a list of measures to prevent an infestation now.
One of the reasons for the increase in insects in general, including flies in Roraima, is the combination of rain and heat. The environment is ideal for the proliferation of mosquitoes. Another point is that with the rain, some seasonal fruits begin to appear on the trees, which increases the appearance of flies in search of food and a place to lay their eggs.
Find out now how to reduce the incidence of flies in your home:
Separate the trash
Even though Roraima does not have selective garbage collection, it is still recommended that organic and dry waste be separated. Organize in one place to reduce the concentration of food scraps in several bags, down to just one. This also reduces the concentration of flies.
Keep your hygiene up to date
Clean your home and especially your yard frequently, avoiding the accumulation of fruit at the feet of trees or overgrown weeds. Also change trash bags, dish towels and sponges faster.
Plan your environment with mosquito nets
The good old mosquito net is an old tip passed down from generation to generation because it is useful. A good recommendation is to install it in the windows of homes, to prevent the circulation of mosquitoes.
Homemade repellents are useful
One tip is to make a mixture of lemon and cloves. Just cut a lemon in half, stick each half with cloves and leave it in the kitchen. Another possibility is to wash with a mixture of a glass of water and a glass of vinegar or spray the room with 70% alcohol.
Add plants to your environment
Plants such as citronella, eucalyptus, mint and mint are natural methods of fighting flies. Menthol is said to be a natural mosquito repellent.
