We have been doing this since the 1980’s. Heard about it and hung them around our patio of our house. No more flies ruining the bbq dinner. We were full time campers and hang these bags on our awning. It has never failed repelling flies no matter what part of the country we are in. Amazing!!

Will this still work if the porch is dark? I don't get lots of sunlight in my porch😢 also my problem is the neighbors disgusting dog and trash bins. They never keep clean no matter how many times we have asked politely. Unfortunately, now our porch is infested with flies.

It does work. I found out about this from an old black lady in Coleman Florida who owned a BBQ shack. She had them all over. It was a eat outside place. Never saw a fly. Not even in 100 degree heat. I asked her why all the bags of water ? She told me it keeps the flies away. I was like how ?! She said she did not know but her mother taught her this many years ago. It was really like being on another planet. But again never saw a fly. With food everywhere. No joke.

Glad I came across this video. Last August I decided to buy a 30-foot RV camper to live in it. So I moved it on a friend's 5-acre property that happens to be next door neighbors with somebody that owns a couple horses and trains them for shows. Nonetheless last summer I had a fly issue constantly in my RV and it's very annoying. This year same problem and now I think I have to try this because I can't stand being in a small 450 sq ft RV and flies buzzing around me 24/7. Because of the horses, the flies are a major problem.

Try cleaning the pennies with vinegar to make them really shiny because some pennies are very oxidized and dull in color. Also use pre 1981 pennies as they are solid copper, not plated. Otherwise you might notice a grayish dust on the bottom of the bag as the plated pennies dissolve from the inside out over time. Hope that helps.

He lives in a small apartment with his sister and they get those little baby flies that comes in the house all the time. And my aunt lives in men Teaka California and they get a combination of big, medium, and small baby flies in the house if someone comes in and out. They live near the cows.

Oh really ...it works without pennies?So it doesn't have to be sunlight around for this to work?
@JoshPhoenix11 2 місяці тому
In that case it might have nothing to do with the pennies and looking like eyes. The light hitting the water is going to be magnified so maybe its just that, seeing as though flies have crazy excellent vision and don't just see one image like we do, they see multiple images as though they have multiple eyes. The magnified light might be too intense for their vision and be blinding. And the water may even be splitting the wavelengths of the light when it refracts in certain ways that also mess with their vision. For how effective this method seems to be, it would make more scientific sense that its something to do with the light through the water, and how their eyes and vision work.

I planted cleome (old fashioned kind) in the corner. Cleome flowers here all summer and early fall, and they smell like farts.

(I think it's the result of the large mulberry trees overhanging the front of the house.)

Hi Southerner! This is a Native Californian writing you from an area close to the ocean and less than one "klick" from a dairy. I'm going to try your idea. My wife said your idea is certainly original to us. Thanks for the tip. Wishing you and your family a great summer! Regards, Ralph O.

Ya think that sounds crazy,my friend glued 2 CD togethers shiny side out,put a small hole through both,then threaded a 10lb fishing line a foot long to hang the CDs or Dvds,then she glued 3 shiny pennies to each side speraiting then a inch apart,then hung them up on her porch close to every door,so when the wind blows and any light reflected off then,now I haven't tried it yet,but I seen hers hanging,but forgot to look for flies..I may try making one,I do know some hang then in their fruit trees,not with pennies though.just wanted to share this...

I did make 2 sets and what a great day to try them out one by front door the other by the sliding doors,brings its gloomy and raining and so far none on front porch except for wasps there are a few flies at sliding doors but not hanging on the screen,you know this may just work,hope so any way.

This works for pigeons as well. Had a pigeon problem and heard they don't like shiny things or moving things. Had a couple scratched dvds, so I strung them together and hung them, almost like a ghetto windchime. They stopped using my balcony as a toilet.
