The trick with the sheet of paper to scare away flies

Blogs and discussion forums are full of grandmotherly tips, as simple and easy to prepare as others to keep insects away from your house. But are they all effective? Without offending our elders, there is an unstoppable trick to drive away mosquitoes and flies once and for all. And this trick doesn’t involve cinnamon powder or vinegar .

To do this, you will need to take care of the following:

Some sheets of A4 paper (the number will depend on the size of your house. The larger your house, the more space there will be to cover)
5 tablespoons of sugar
3 tablespoons of honey
Water
Rope
In a saucepan, pour the sugar, honey and water. Let the mixture simmer for about 5 minutes. Once the preparation is homogeneous, you can turn off the heat.

Cut the leaves into 3 lengthwise. Then punch holes in these leaf ends to pass the rope that will be used to suspend them.

Using a basting brush, spread the water, honey, and sugar mixture all over the leaf.

Hang your sheets near the windows to avoid an infestation of mosquitoes and flies. Sugar instantly attracts pests and will keep them away from your interior and especially your ears at night .
