To kill flies without spray, use natural deterrents like vinegar or essential oils. For a DIY fly trap, fill a bowl with apple cider vinegar, add a few drops of dish soap to break the surface tension, and cover it with plastic wrap poked with small holes. Flies are attracted to the vinegar, will crawl in, and won’t be able to escape. Essential oils such as lavender, eucalyptus, or peppermint can also be used in a diffuser to deter flies from entering your home.
