Fly repeller?
We went with friends to a restaurant on Sunday for lunch
and sat in the patio section beside the store. We happened to notice zip lock
baggies pinned to a post and a wall. The bags were half filled with ...water,
each contained 4 pennies, and they were zipped shut. Naturally we were curious!
The owner told us that these baggies kept the flies away! So naturally we were
even more curious! We actually watched some flies come in the open window, stand
around on the window sill, and then fly out again. And there were no flies in
the eating area! This morning I checked this out on Google.
Below are comments on this fly control idea. I'm now a believer!
Zip-lock water bags: #1 Says: I tried the zip lock bag and pennies this weekend.
I have a horse trailer. The flies were bad while I was camping. I put the
baggies with pennies above the door of the LQ. NOT ONE FLY came in the
trailer.The horse trailer part had many. Not sure why it works but it does!
#2 Says:Fill a zip lock bag with water and 5 or 6 pennies and hang it in the
problem area. In my case it was a particular window in my home. It had a slight
passage way for insects. Every since I have done that, it has kept flies and
wasps away. Some say that wasps and flies mistake the bag for some other insect
nest and are threatened.
#3 Says:I swear by the plastic bag of water trick. I have them on porch and
basement. We saw these in Northeast Mo. at an Amish grocery store& have used
them since. They say it works because a fly sees a reflection& won't come
around.
#4 Says:Regarding the science behind zip log bags of water? My research found
that the millions of molecules of water presents its own prism effect and given
that flies have a lot of eyes, to them it's like a zillion disco balls
reflecting light, colors and movement in a dizzying manner. When you figure that
flies are prey for many other bugs, animals, birds, etc., they simply won't take
the risk of being around that much perceived action. I moved to a rural area and
thought these "hillbillies" were just yanking my city boy chain but I tried it
and it worked immediately! We went from hundreds of flies to seeing the
occasional one, but he didn't hang around long.
