YOU DO NOT NEED VINEGAR PENNIES, ZAAR WOULD NOT LET ME PUBLISH THIS RECIPE BECAUSE PENNIES ARE'NT A FOOD SO I SAID VINEGAR PENNIES! I have no idea why or how this works but it does! Our garbage can is right outside of our kitchen door and when you went out the door you could usually count on a fly or two getting in the house. Since we've hung this by the door, there is not one fly! We've got them at different places now in the back yard where we spend a lot of time. There's two on our back porch and not one fly is on the porch. Theres one hanging from the big umbrella over our chairs and there are what I call the stupid "teenage flies" that will occasionally bug the heck out of you but nothing like it used to be. We're having company over Saturday for a backyard bbq so I'm anxious to see how it works for that, we'll hang one from the tree over the table. I don't know if its the reflection of the pennies in the water or what that makes it work. If you try this let me know how it works for you.

Tips for Keeping Flies Away

  • Keep your home clean. Flies are attracted to food and garbage, so it's important to keep your home clean to deter them. Wipe up spills immediately, and don't leave dirty dishes in the sink. Take out the trash regularly, and keep your yard free of debris.
  • Use essential oils. Some essential oils, such as peppermint, eucalyptus, and lavender, are known to repel flies. You can diffuse these oils in your home, or apply them to your skin or clothing.
  • Plant fly-repelling plants. Certain plants, such as basil, rosemary, and mint, are known to repel flies. Plant these plants around your home to keep flies away.
  • Use fly traps. Fly traps are a simple and effective way to get rid of flies. Place fly traps in areas where flies are a problem, such as near windows and doors.
  • Keep your pets clean. Flies are attracted to animal waste, so it's important to keep your pets clean to deter them. Bathe your pets regularly, and clean up their waste immediately.
