I did not check the validity of this, but I thought I'd pass it along.

Subject: Zip bags and fly control

 

When Katie, Kim and I took the youth out to give out bottles of juice and
water for VBS, we came to a house that had a baggie half full of water
hanging on the by the door. We wondered what that was, I thought it was
vinegar but Julie said it was water to keep flies out. I know Some of the
restaurants that need to try this. I hate flies swarming around when I am
eating. Laura
 
 

 



We went with some out of town friends to Sweety Pies on Sunday for
breakfast, and we sat in the enclosed patio section beside the house.   We
happened to notice a couple of 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!  Ms Sweety 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 Goggle.  Below are comments on
this fly control idea.  I'm now a believer!  More comments not included here
were about pet dogs and fly problems.  
  
 
  Zip-lock water bags

Sue says:

Many people swear that a zip-lock bag filled half-way with water and
attached over entry-ways will repel flies. No one yet knows how or why it
works, but there is speculation that it has something to do with the way the
moving water refracts light. If you have tried this please use the comments
form at the bottom of the page to share your results with the rest of us.

I did tried the ziplock bag and pennies this weekend. I have a horse trailer
with full LQ. The flys were very bad this weekend while I was camping. I put
the baggie 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!!!!!!!

Fill a ziplock 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 but
significant 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 sort of other insect nest and are threatened by this.

I swear by the plastic bag of water trick I have them on side porch ( our
house entry) and all around the basement door. 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.

Regarding the science behind zip log bags of water? My research found that
each of 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 basically 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 ant thought these "hillbillies" were just yanking my
city boy chain but I tried it, worked immediately! We went from hundreds of
flies to seeing the occasional one, but he don't hang around long.
