A gardener has revealed her best trick for getting rid of flies, mosquitoes and insects in a matter of minutes.
All you have to do is mix some ingredients in a bowl and place a trap for those pesky insects.
Barbara O’Neill shared her foolproof recipe on Facebook along with the surprising results.
To make it, mix half a cup of vinegar, half a cup of olive oil and half a cup of shampoo.
Place the container in the kitchen and wait for the insects to come to it. Leave the mixture out for a couple of hours or until you feel the bugs have been trapped. Repeat if necessary.

Another Australian cleaning and organization guru previously shared her easy trick for preventing mold and pests in your wardrobe.
Anita Birges, who directs Mise en Place Professional Organizationrecommended using giant chunks of chalk along with clove, lavender, and peppermint essential oils to solve all your problems.
The expert simply adds a few drops of clove oil to a giant stick of chalk and keeps it in her drawer to absorb moisture and kill mold spores.
You can find the chalk at several Australian retailers, including Kmart, where you can buy a pack of 20 for just $3.25.
Anita recommends placing DIY deterrents on the side of drawers and on the top shelf of the closet without a container.
The professional also revealed that it is best to use white chalk so that the pigment does not stain clothing.
You will need a few drops of lavender oil on another piece of chalk to get rid of moths and silverfish.
Lastly, peppermint oil works wonders by leaving drawers smelling fresh and deterring spiders, mice, and other creepy crawlies.
Anita recommends putting two to three drops of essential oil for each piece of giant chalk.
Purchase all your oils at your local pharmacy.
