Britain is having a very hot summer and people want to eat outside.

Eating outside can be nice, but flies can be a problem. They can come and ruin your meal.

There is a simple way to keep flies away, and you probably have what you need at home.

Flies are very sensitive to smells, says Keely Smith, an interior designer.

Put cloves in lemons to make a smell that flies do not like.

Experts say to put cloves in lemons.

The smell of lemons and cloves is too strong for flies, says Keely.

This trick works inside and outside. Put the lemons with cloves on your table.

You may need more lemons when it is very hot. Replace them every few days so they keep working.

Some people are talking about whether to keep windows open or closed during the heatwave.

Experts say to open windows if it is hotter inside than outside, and keep them closed if it is cooler inside.

Flies are a big problem this time of year.

Try to keep windows open at night and in the morning to keep your home cool.

Letting air move around the house is a good way to keep it cool.

One expert says to open windows at 8pm when it starts to get cooler outside.

Another expert says to close windows at 9am when it starts to get hotter.

It is going to be very hot this week, and some schools are closing.
