A folk belief holds that a fly in winter brings good luck. It’s even recommended not to swat it, for fear of spoiling good news. Some even see it as an omen of birth or impending happy events.
So, the next time you encounter a fly in December, perhaps a little tolerance is in order?
If you’d still prefer to keep your space free of winged visitors, here are some gentle yet effective tips:
Keep your home clean: not just the kitchen! Flies are attracted to food scraps, improperly closed trash cans, and damp areas.
Ventilate regularly and install mosquito nets if necessary.
