I hate flies!

I went into a store last fall that had a baggie of water hanging above the door...was supposed to be to discourage flies, and when I asked about it, the lady told me that she'd tried everything, lot of farms in that area, and this was the only thing that worked, short of bug spray! I walked away shaking my head, but there's wasn't one fly in that store, and the door was open!

I was just going to suggest that. We raise chickens and have tons of flies. We hang a bag of water over each door and have hardly no flies. just get a ziplock sandwich bag and fill half full with water and zip closed working out the excess air. then get binder clips and clip to the bag and hang over your door. I don't know why it works but it does.

We used to have terrible flies. I always just thought it was because we lived in the country, and had chickens,steers and sheep. Eventually we got rid of all of our animals, except the flies. There was one of those big chicken houses across the fields from us and when they went out of business, we didn't have flies. Turns out the second owners of the business did not keep up with fly maintenance.
