Flies Be Gone: Natural and Chemical Elimination Methods

Essential oils like lemongrass, lavender, peppermint, and eucalyptus are too much for flies to deal with. Place some of these scents in small bowls around the house, or use an essential oil burner or diffuser. Alternatively, mix 20 drops of oil into half a cup of hot water, place the mixture in a spray bottle, and you have your very own chemical-free fly repellent.
