Summers not only bring intense heat but also the time when insects, mosquitoes, and flies are most abundant, causing significant trouble in people’s lives. Especially flies, those winged creatures that carry countless bacteria and germs. Did you know that those flies carry over 200 different types of bacteria after they “rest” on garbage dumps, rotten food, and even… feces?

It’s terrifying that one of the favorite resting places for flies is our food. Without even licking or sucking anything, just landing on the food is enough for you to understand how dirty that dish is. Moreover, they are creatures with a very strange eating behavior, eating and regurgitating at the same time, as well as containing all sorts of disease-causing microorganisms in their waste.
Where do you think is the fastest, safest, and most effective way to get rid of these filthy flies? Using insect repellent sprays? It’s fast indeed, but those chemicals aren’t good for human health either. Swatting flies with a fly swatter? Absolutely not, because when you swat a fly, it releases millions of viruses, bacteria, single cell organisms, fungal spores, tapeworm eggs, and other parasites into the environment. So absolutely no fly swatting allowed.
The best way to keep flies away and limit their presence in our living environment is to hang a bag of water in front of the house. In this bag of water, you should also put in a few coins (about 4 to 5 coins). You should choose a thick, durable plastic bag so that it doesn’t break when hung up.
After pouring water into the bag, hang it in front of the entrance, the windows of the house. Light is essential for this trap to work well. Therefore, in the evening, you should hang it in a place with light shining on it.

Why is this an effective way to get rid of flies? The shiny coins inside the water will create an uncomfortable and unpleasant scene for the flies. Flies have complex compound eyes, and what they see inside the bag is actually a light refraction phenomenon that they cannot process like humans. As a result, the water-filled bag and the shining coins will create an illusion for flies, making them not want to approach the bag anymore. That’s the reason.
Have you ever tried this trick? If not, try it today to avoid being bothered by flies anymore.
