homemade fly spray

With the heat the flies haven't been too bad but i do know they get bad around our chicken run and coop. This recipe for homemade fly spray is from communitychickens.com. We have been using it around other areas where flies seem to be an issue.

What you will need:

• 1 Spray Bottle (Mine is 12 ounces)
• 2/3 Cup of White Vinegar
• 1 3/4 Cup of Water
• 10 Drops of Tea Tree Essential Oil (Melaleuca)
• 10 Drops of Lavender Essential Oil

Combine the water and vinegar in a spray bottle. Next, add the essential oils into the mixture. Shake well and spray on the mist setting. Be sure to shake well before each use.
