Flies around house

[seedcorn]

read where you half fill a sealable plastic bag with water and 4-6 pennies. Hang it up, scares flies away.

Anyone try this? Love to sit outside but dang flies bite especially before a rain.

Yep, just make sure you don't put just three pennies in it, or seven. Flies are much smarter these days Seed.

Yeah exactly.....

My daughter swears this works but it didn't for me. I have found the best thing to be flypaper. It is really gross but I'd rather have dead flies than ones landing on my food and beverages so after awhile you get where you don't notice them.

Another vote for flypaper. Dollar store has them 3 tubes for a $1, they can be a pain to unroll

They really are cheap and they work for a long time. We have a lot less flies now. I even put them out on my porch by the backdoor and frontdoor.

I saw a new kind of fly trap at Tractor Supply I am going to try out. Going to buy a couple to hang in the barn at my sister's farm since she's keeping my horse for me now. I'll let you know if they work!

Think I will try those also, usually use the fly papers but these may hold more

Vanilla "tree" car fresheners....they really do work! Up where I used to live, twice a year there is a HUGE fly hatch with hundreds of flies invading homes, cars, coops, barns, etc. The vanilla trees really ward them off from out of the car, homes, porches, and coops. Don't know why, but they hate them.

I tried those and they didn't work for me.
