- Prevention:
- Keep your home clean and free of food sources that may attract miggies.
- Install fly screens or insect traps on doors and windows to prevent them from entering.
- Avoid leaving doors and windows open for long periods of time.
- Natural Repellents:
- Place bowls of apple cider vinegar or a mixture of dish soap and water near areas where miggies are present.
- Burn citronella candles or use essential oils such as lemongrass, eucalyptus, or peppermint.
- Grow basil, mint, or lavender plants in your home or garden as these scents can repel miggies.
- Traps:
- Hang sticky fly traps or use commercial miggie traps to catch and remove them.
- Create a homemade trap by placing a small amount of sugar, water, and a few drops of dish soap in a shallow dish.
- Vacuuming:
- If there are large numbers of miggies, use a vacuum cleaner with a hose attachment to suck them up. Dispose of the vacuum bag immediately after use.
- Pest Control Services:
- If the infestation is severe or persistent, consider contacting a pest control company for professional treatment.
