Fresh herbs: Some herbs, such as basil, mint, and rosemary, have natural insect-repelling properties. Keeping pots of these herbs in the kitchen can help keep insects away.
Vinegar traps: Fill small bowls with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap. The scent attracts flies, but the soap breaks the surface tension of the vinegar, causing the flies to drown.
Mesh screens: Ensure windows and doors have mesh screens to prevent insects from entering the kitchen.
By incorporating these items into your kitchen, you can help keep flies, mosquitoes, and other insects at bay.
