Annually flies land on my overhead lamp shades. I hate it. On a whim, I dotted Vicks vapour rub on the bottom rim of the shades.
OMG result! Zero flies hanging around.

OooooOOOoooo victory!
Wonder how long it will last for.
Will the vapo rub be sticky and stick more dust. 🤔
Does your house smell very 'fresh'!
I bet your nasal passages are also beautifully free and clear - added bonus!

Reckon it’d work on my front door?!

What about my car? The door seals are infested with whitefly!

Oo I'll have to try that. I hate those lil fuckers flying around the same.

Just going to mention, 12 days and still no pesky flies on my overhead lampshade.
