Having suffered the ravages of flies,I came across this on another forum and 'borrowed it'

water for fly control:
Thank you for your wonderful site! I found it very informative. I wanted to let you know about a fly repellent that is is very effective. A plastic bag filled with water and hung will repel flies from the area. I learned this trick while living in the Ozark mountains where the fly problem was horrible. I saw these bags over every front door and on every patio. Supposedly the fly can see his reflection in the bag and does not like it. I am not sure how true that part of it is, but for whatever reason, the bags really work. Thanks again,
Michelle

Hi Nobrot,

Sorry to inform you this is an ongoing internet-joke (a pity because the flies are sometimes a real pain in the ass).  The only use of the bags with water is to tell you where the people live who believe everything they read on the internet  ;D

It's only the colostomy bags that work in Bournemouth.....


(I've got a good idea where this is leading)
