Flies in the house even in autumn? This pop-up accessory is the ultimate weapon to keep them away

Even in autumn the flies don’t give up and return to visit us en masse. They come in through the windows, buzz everywhere and seem attracted to one thing in particular: the ripe fruit left on the table. Once laid, they often lay invisible eggs which transform into larvae in a few hours. The result? Your beautiful corbeille turns into an insect buffet.

If you have already tried with traps, sprays and adhesive tapes without obtaining great results, there is a solution as simple as it is ignored: the food cover. It has no smell, requires no electricity, does not release chemicals and above all it really works. It is one of those solutions within everyone’s reach, which we have forgotten only because today everything seems to have to be hyper-technological.

There’s no need for complicated or expensive contraptions to defend your food. The food cover, whether made of mesh, fabric, glass or metal, creates a breathable physical barrier between food and insects. The air passes, the scents remain, but the flies stay out. It’s a simple gesture: it rests on fruit or ready-made dishes, and that’s it. No buttons, no maintenance.

Those who have a small kitchen can opt for the foldable or stackable models, which are also very convenient for those who live in a camper, camp or organize outdoor lunches. They fit all sizes of plates, trays and bowls. And when they are not needed, they fold up in an instant and disappear into a drawer.

Compared to chemical repellents, they do not release anything into the air. And compared to DIY traps, they don’t attract flies… they keep them directly away. It is perhaps the cleanest and least invasive method of protecting what we eat.

Why choose a food cover?

Those who have rediscovered it will never leave it behind: the food cover is practical, durable and suitable for any context. Using it means reducing the risk of contamination, preventing insects from landing directly on food and better protecting what remains outside the fridge, such as fruit, cheese or cakes.

Here’s why it’s worth having at least one at home:

The only small flaw? It must be put back in its place every time you take something. But it’s really minimal effort to keep flies away without having to spread insecticides everywhere.
