I hate the dishes and make it work to work until it is very full to use the sink and I have no other option. But when I saw that in the last summer my kitchen fly the most, I have created a point to follow one 5 minute rule with washing dishes This year: If it does not take me more than five minutes, then I am doing this.
The easiest way to cut the dishwashing time is to wash the dish as soon as you are using it, but let it sit in the sink; In this way, the remains of the remaining food will not have time to dry and harden, which will make the dish a good clean and will be made very fast to remove it and insert it (or in your dishwasher). When your sink is filled with dishes, water can easily accumulate, making it the perfect place for flies to move out.
So far, I think this has been the most effective way to keep flies away, but there are other ways that I am also using.

While this is a good rule of thumb to clean your cat’s garbage cans daily, sometimes this task is low in my list of priorities. Last year, I kept fly nets as a security precaution near my cat’s litter cans and food bowl – I did not want it to eat any flies and because they have entered her place.
I saw some flies on the trap last year, but it did not seem that they were like a place that was necessary. Regardless, this year I put the trap at the same place and was more diligent with its fecal matter ASAP and turning food into a short time limit in his food bowl. The trap in his space is still flying, so I am taking it as a win.

Finally, I Plug in a fly mesh In my kitchen and near my cat’s litter cans try to catch any wicked flies that despite my best efforts. In my experience, I think it is better to quickly out the fly trap when you are only looking at a few flies, rather than bringing them out when they are so many that they have become a problem. Prevention is almost always the easiest way to deal with an insect, especially if they are small and multiply rapidly.
I do not have to use a DIY solution yet this year, but if you are not a fan of plug-in trap, then Diy fly catcher Super effective is also.
