Experts say this affordable gadget will keep annoying fruit flies away from your dinner table this summer — no chemicals, sprays or smelly candles required

Fruit flies can be a real pest as the weather gets warmer, but thankfully there’s a simple solution to keep them out of your way while you enjoy your dinner: a simple table fan, like the Honeywell TurboForce Power Fan, available for £28.99 at Amazon.

“Fruit flies are weak fliers and dislike strong air currents,” say food hygiene experts from Alliance Online. “By placing a fan near where fruit flies congregate, you can create an environment with increased air circulation, which makes it more difficult for the fruit flies to fly and land on surfaces.”
