Let’s start with the annoying end of this trick. The problem of all this: fruit flies, banana flies.

We’ve all been there. First, you see a lonely bug flying around in the kitchen, but before you know it, the stubborn bugs have multiplied at an alarming rate. It’s also not uncommon, like when summer begins, when banana flies thrive in the heat.

Soon they give a disgusting feeling in the house, and as if that’s not enough, they’re also difficult to get rid of. But calm in the storm. Because now I’ve found a clever housewife tip that quickly solves the problem!

All you need for this simple but effective trick is an oven and a lemon.

And the first thing you need to do is cut the lemon in half.

Then place the lemon halves in the turned-off oven.

The next step? Leave the oven door open overnight and go to bed.

The next morning, you’ll see those annoying banana flies hanging around the oven. Why? Because they are attracted to the sharp scent of lemons, of course!

What you can do now is close the door and turn on the oven for a few minutes.

Let the oven cool down and then discard the lemon halves. Then clean the bottom of the oven.

Your house will now smell delightful, and you won’t see the trace of any banana fly!

Clever, isn’t it?
