As summer approaches, the nation braces itself for the annual invasion of flies and mosquitoes.

These winged pests not only disrupt our peace but also pose health risks, spreading diseases like dengue and malaria.

But fear not, for we have a budget-friendly solution that will help you reclaim your home from these unwelcome guests.

Katie Williams has shared her ingenious tip for keeping flies and mosquitoes at bay.

Like many of us, Katie found the presence of flies in her home unbearable, turning her into an 'absolute psychopath', especially when family members inadvertently leave the back door open, inviting these 'foul creatures' in.

However, Katie's life took a turn for the better when she discovered an $11 Punch-Free Automatic Sensor Door Closer on Amazon.

This simple yet effective gadget has since become her knight in shining armour, preventing flies and mosquitoes from infiltrating her home.

The automatic door closer is a device with a weighted function that pulls on sliding doors, ensuring they remain closed when not in use.

This inexpensive mechanism from Amazon is a quick and easy solution for households with pets that can open doors or family members who often forget to close them.

Katie's revelation resonated with many, who shared their own experiences and alternative solutions.

'You can get them from Bunnings too,' one shared.

'They are so good—I have five people living in the house and they leave the door open all day, every day.'

'My dad made an automatic sliding door closer using an old bike training wheel, fishing line and a weight. It was fantastic,' another added.

Besides the automatic door closer, there are other ways to deter flies from entering your home. One such method is setting up a fly trap outdoors.

Tiffany, a resident of Perth, shared her success story of using a hanging fly trap net catcher with rotten fruit as bait.

Flies are attracted to rotten fruit due to the high concentration of acetic acid, a byproduct of fruit fermentation.

Tiffany's clever tip trapped hundreds of flies, effectively keeping them out of her home.

She enthusiastically endorsed the method, saying, 'Well done! No more flies swarming around my backyard. These things are amazing.'

Others chimed in with their own versions of fly traps, with one user sharing their success with a cola bottle trap.

'I do something similar with a Coca-Cola bottle—also works wonders,' they shared.

Too bad if like me you don't have a sliding or on the back of your house. We have fly traps set up around our yard, they work well, but boy do they stink after a few days. Flies still get in, they seem to have a knack of knowing when someone is opening the door, seize the chance and invite themselves in. Hubby goes berserk with the flyspray if flies come into our house.
