My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Fruit fly repellant?

22 years ago

I have millions of fruit flies in my worm/composting bin. They become a disgusting and annoying cloud every time I open it. Is there some way to naturally repel these pests? Thanks very much!!
