Pennies, Flys & Plastic Bags
Fly flys go away...come again...never!
It's that time. Fly time that is. Our large dogs are spending more time outside of late, & they've had some pesky visitors show up. Mr. Mutt & I are quite the DIY'ers & we decided there MUST be a way to take care of these nuisances inexpensively & chemical free (we have become QUITE the chemical free household...more on this another day).
A quick search on the Internet brought us to the Plastic Baggie Remedy. uh huh. While it seems strange (not a stretch for the owners of 5 dogs) it IS quick, easy & inexpensive so we decided today to give it a whirl.
If you want to try it as well, here is what you need to do:
Using a zip top baggie (we chose gallon size) fill half way with water & drop 4-6 pennies inside. Tie in area where dogs are (or fly problem in general). The thought is that since flys have many eyes, the droplets of water create a prism effect that throws them off their game & beat a path to a less confusing area. Why pennies? I really don't know but who am I not to throw my 2 cents in.... ;)
I'll keep you posted on the effect of this unique fly abatement technique.
I remember trying this a few years ago and I think it worked...thanks for the reminder, I am going to do it again!!
