found something useful., a water fly trap.

Quote

Wes Crosiar once mentioned that you could take a clear plastic bag, fill it with water and hang it up outside. This would repel flies from the area. He said you should put a penny in the bag to get the best results. A lady in our Roundtable group who runs a horse breeding farm did this in her stable last summer and noticed a markedly reduced number of flies in the area.

Strangely enough, while in Egypt at the Temple of Dendera, we rested at a small outdoor cafe and I noticed one of these clear plastic bags, without a penny, hanging outside and there were no flies. I asked some of the locals what it was for and they said it was an old way to get rid of flies!

Even stranger, while Wes and I were talking Saturday night, I noticed an advertisement on the TV for something called RESCUE, which showed a clear plastic bag with a funnel nozzle. The claim was you hang this outside and the flies are attracted to the water where they are trapped and drown.

When the bag is full of flies, you seal it and discard. Wes commented that he had observed that the efficacy of the water bag was dependent on the ambient humidity.

I think the reason the clear plastic bag with water repels them is because light refracts and to their eyes it looks like 50 million disco balls.. they dont like it much. It works, I did it last summer while my neighbor didnt feel like picking up his dogs poo and it attracted flies.
