🍎 FRUIT FLY TRAPS - I’m genuinely impressed with these!

I have been tackling a pretty prolific fruit fly infestation in a client’s kitchen and, alongside everything else we’ve been doing to get the numbers down, I put out these Super Ninja Fruit Fly Traps just this past Sunday.

I’m amazed at how effective they’ve been in just a few short days! 👀

I’d say the traps have single handedly taken out around 80% of the adult flies. There were still some determined survivors buzzing around today, which I vacuumed straight out of the air before emptying the vacuum outside. 🚪 🪰

Obviously, trapping the adults is only part of getting rid of fruit flies, so alongside these we:

🧹 Thoroughly cleaned the kitchen and removed anything they could feed or breed on
🗑️ Emptied bins and dealt with food waste
🧽 Cleaned around sinks, worktops and other damp areas
♨️ Flushed the plughole and overflow with boiling water to help clear any organic build-up or eggs lurking there
🍎 Removed or covered any fruit and food left out
🪰 Kept on top of any remaining adult flies to stop them continuing the cycle

The traps are good for another two weeks, so I’ve left them in place to hopefully catch any stragglers or newly emerged flies.

I got these from Amazon - Super Ninja Fruit Fly Traps - and I wasn’t expecting them to be quite this effective. They’re obviously not a substitute for finding and removing the source of an infestation, but as part of tackling one? I can absolutely recommend them!

And yes… that dark layer at the bottom is a fruit fly graveyard… 😶🙈

The official mug bouquet of executive dysfunction! 💐☕

If you've ever found yourself carrying five mugs and a glass back to the kitchen in one slightly overambitious trip... welcome. You're among friends. 💛

Sometimes stuff piles up because your brain has bigger things to manage. That's not laziness - it's life.

That's why Haven Homes exists: to help without judgment, because everyone deserves a home that supports them. 💚

Who can relate? 🙆‍♀️

Executive Dysfunction can be SO disabling, causing Task Paralysis when your brain perceives an overwhelming workload!

Knowing where to start is the hardest part…

Hi, I’m Eleanor, the person behind Haven Homes 🏡✨

I started Haven Homes because I know firsthand that keeping on top of a home isn’t always simple - especially when you’re overwhelmed, struggling mentally, burnt out, disabled, chronically ill, neurodivergent, or just trying to survive a busy season of life.

Cleaning services can sometimes feel intimidating or judgmental, and I wanted to create something different:
a calm, compassionate, judgment-free service that helps people feel safer and more comfortable in their homes.

No shame. No lectures. No expectation for you to “tidy before the cleaner comes.” Just practical help and understanding.

My goal is to build a business that supports real people with real lives - whether that’s regular cleaning, help resetting a space after a difficult period, or simply making a home feel manageable again 💛

If you think Haven Homes could help you or someone you know, feel free to message me. Currently serving Cardigan and nearby areas!

And if you’d like to support a small new business, sharing this post would genuinely mean the world to me ✨

I’ve just been listening to a podcast about a charity that helps people with cleaning when things have got really overwhelming, and it really resonated… this is exactly why I started Haven Homes 💛

Our homes are meant to feel like a safe space.

But when things build up, that space can start to feel stressful instead of comforting - especially if you’re dealing with neurodivergence, burnout, mental health, or just life being a lot.

And then it becomes a cycle…

You feel overwhelmed → things pile up → you feel worse → and it’s even harder to get back to that clean slate.

You don’t need a perfect house.
And there’s nothing “wrong” with you for struggling with it!

Sometimes you just need a bit of help getting things back to a place that feels calmer and easier to maintain.

That’s always been the heart behind Haven Homes 💛

I’m still building things at the moment and taking on regular work, but long term I’d really love to be able to offer free or reduced cleans for people who are properly struggling and just need a bit of help.

Because everyone deserves to feel okay in their own home 🫶🏻
