It's time for a FLY WATER BAG UPDATE
Use this (new and improved!) trick for fly water bags to get rid of flies!
Ready to make fly water bags? Let's go!!!
Materials:
Quart Plastic Bags — Amazon LINK.
Twine — Amazon LINK.
DIRECTIONS TO MAKE FLY WATER BAGS:
First: Cut a SMALL SLIT in the top of the bag on one side of the closure flap
This is an update...Cutting the slit on one side of the bag flap, rather than on both flaps, makes it easier to insert the twine, and to seal the bag flaps to stop water from leaking out.
Next: insert a piece of twine through the slit.
Pull the twine through the slit making a loop...
Tie a knot to secure the loop.
This is the hanger for the fly water bag.
Drop 3 pennies into the bag.
Fill with water...Almost to the top of the closure strip.
Seal securely.
Make enough fly water bags to enclose your outdoor entertaining areas. We started with 5 around the perimeter of the dining and seating areas of the patio.
Ready to hang outside in the sun...

The insect’s head mostly consists of a pair of large complex eyes, each of which is composed of 3,000 to 6,000 simple eyes. These eyes can’t move or focus on objects like human eyes, but they provide the fly with a mosaic view of the world around them. A housefly bases its sense of direction on the direction sunlight comes from. Some entomologists believe that when these complex, sensitive eyes experience refracted light, the insect becomes confused and flies away.

The courtship of Helen and Jerry Unruh was long-distance. “He had a florist deliver a rose to me every day,” Helen recalls. After two years, a bloom arrived with a card reading, “Will you marry me?” That was in 1975. Today, Jerry still indulges his wife’s love of flowers: They have 1,700 azalea bushes at their home in Odessa, Delaware—all squeezed onto their 1 1∕4-acre property. “They are such gorgeous things in the springtime,” says Helen. “It makes you happy you’re alive.”
