No, flies generally do not like turmeric; in fact, turmeric is considered toxic to insects.
Turmeric, largely due to its active compound curcumin, has demonstrated potential as a natural pest control agent. Research indicates that turmeric possesses insecticidal properties, suggesting that flies would likely avoid it rather than be attracted to it. This makes turmeric a possible tool for repelling flies and other insects in certain situations.
While specific studies focusing solely on flies' aversion or toxicity to turmeric might be limited, the broader research on turmeric's insecticidal effects supports the conclusion that flies would not be drawn to it.
