What house materials can repel house flies?

davidjericho95: What house materials can repel house flies?
I am going to make house fly repellant using garlic, thyme, cinnamon and orange peels.

But what other materials do you suggest I use for this?

Just materials that can easily be found at home.
Please just give me ingredients that can easily be found at home or recipes for a repellant.

And thanks to all.

Flies come in through gaps in screens, open doors, windows and cracks in the foundation. Even drainage pipes are entranceways for flies.

Make sure you have good tight screens and don’t leave doors or windows open unless they are screened and that should be sufficient.

Your house could turn out smelling like a people repellent. Try sound science based remedies instead. https://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG/PESTNOTES/pn7457.html
