The internet teaches us how to get rid of flies in your home

Our festive season has always been filled with summertime treats, sun, and sand. 

But with all things fresh and vibrant comes a downside. In our case, it happens to be the two buzzers: mosquitoes and flies.

But the other, being flies, can sometimes be an unnecessary nuisance that doesn't want to go away.

What's worse is that they are always associated with filth and so, we sort of freak out when we see them in our homes out of fear of what they may be carrying with them.

Of course, we have some questions, like why the penny? And if we are doing it, should it be a copper coin or does silver work just as well?

We guess experimentation is the only way forward. Can't harm us to try it out, right?
