^{Hello Guys ... How are you today?}

^{Chrysomya megacephala}

Flies, whatever the breed, of course everyone knows them very well and everyone hates them very much, because they are a nuisance insect species. They are one of the Orders that often spread bacteria that humans hate. Even so, it doesn't hurt to know its development in human life, why? Because when we know his behavior, then we ourselves can know every weakness.

^{Chrysomya megacephala}

When we know every weakness of an object, then we can anticipate all the space to operate in every situation on all sides. Isn't its presence capable of irritating objects that are always used by humans, or even spreading diseases in the form of bad bacteria. So with such circumstances, humans are contaminated with all objects that will be consumed.

^{Chrysomya megacephala}

Although in this era there has been a lot of anticipation to prevent the bacteria they carry, but still people really don't like their presence, this also has some good reasons for that situation. Then what is the reason? Of course everyone knows that he really likes to play in dirty areas, such as :

Often in the sewers of waste disposal, whether the waste comes from human work or other
Often play and even really like being on every carcass body, be it animal carcasses or every other carcass
Often in objects such as animal feces or even human feces
Very like to linger on pus or blood that has smelled
and, some other dirty things that humans really hate.

^{Chrysomya megacephala}

That's why humans don't like their presence in other important objects, the point is that they are always present in the food we want to consume. If they don't find the food, it will also land on every drink or other important object.

Each species of fly, especially green flies or house flies, they will be anywhere, either on plants or on food that is ready for consumption or it will be in locations that are often visited by humans.

^{Chrysomya megacephala}

Back to the explanation at the beginning, when we know all their behavior, we can find out their weaknesses, it turns out that flies also have a smell they hate, so with a certain smell they are reluctant to be present in a location, where a special scent is available. When a location has a special smell, it will automatically leave the area. So what smells don't flies like?

Among the many scents that flies don't like are plants that have a special scent that can disturb the olfactory nerves of flies.

One of the plants that has a distinctive aroma is the Basil plant, these leaves are very often added to every food to make the food smell good. In our area, this plant is often used by women to scent every food.

^{Chrysomya megacephala}

This Basil plant, contains a very pungent aroma, everyone really likes the fragrance of the aroma contained in the leaves, so it is not surprising that our women often use the leaves as a distinctive aroma in every food.

While the method of implementation is very simple, you simply put the leaves in a location that you protect or a place that flies do not want to visit. If you are overwhelmed in doing it regularly, then plant this plant in a special place and then place it in the location you are going.

This method is a daily activity of our family in everyday life, if we want to protect a food or an important location, then this plant is always presented to fortify the arrival of the fly itself, and in the end this method works.

^{Chrysomya megacephala}

The power of the scent is so strong that it can irritate the fly's sense of smell or be covered with an odor it doesn't like when sniffing. He should have been able to taste the aroma of food but what he smelled was not his favorite food. The power of the sense of smell is very strong in detecting the smell of food, but it is naturally covered with the smell of the basil plant itself strongly.

I have often noticed his behavior when in a room where there is a basil plant and behind him is a piece of cake, the fly knows that behind the things he hates there is food he likes, but he just flies in the area and never comes down and landed. So in the end he gave up and soon died at that location.

If you are interested please try it, as we have done, at least this method works with a percentage of 70%.
