How to keep flies away from home
Pests
August 1, 2025
A fly-free home is possible if the right product and correct application are combined.
To keep them out of the house, there are many popular solutions, but they don’t always work as we’d like:
- A transparent bag filled with water should scare them away.
- Mosquito nets are effective but limit movement and reduce natural light.
- Spray insecticides are also toxic for us, and electric devices are not always the most efficient.
- Other home methods, like bottles with funnels and a water-and-honey mix, work but are visually unpleasant.
- Ultraviolet lamps are highly recommended for certain spaces, like restaurants and kitchens, and some have designs that blend in very well.

Is there a definitive solution? There are places where a lamp won’t work, you can’t use a mosquito net, and sprays would not be effective.
At Atēnia we have been working for years with a solution that, while not definitive, is long-lasting: a couple of months of proven effectiveness. Customers who have tried it have been satisfied and repeat, as during this time they see no flies, even on terraces.
It is a fly-killing product applied both indoors and outdoors, also works for porches and other spaces surrounded by arches or awnings. It attracts flies and acts by ingestion. So they all drop like flies!
