Tired of Flies? Here is a repellent ultra effective and without toxic products.
Tired of flies circling around you?
It's true, it's impossible to enjoy the good weather without them landing on us!
But no need to use an insecticide like Raid so far.
Not only is it full of toxic products for you and your family, but it is also not cheap ...
Fortunately, there is a ULTRA effective repellent and without toxic products to easily repel flies.
All you need is a freezer bag, some yellow coins, and water. Look :
What you need
- large bag with zip
- water
- yellow pieces
How to do
1. Fill the bag with water (half or full).
2. Put a few yellow coins in the bag.
3. Close the bag.
4. Hang the bag high up where you want to keep flies away.
Why does it work?
This trick was revealed to me by a farmer friend Louis, when I visited his farm with my children last summer.
Louis has a wonderful farm, with an open barn where you can see donkeys, horses, goats and other farm animals.
Despite the presence of all these animals, there was not a single fly ! Incredible, isn't it?
Curious, I asked Louis how he kept flies away.
He then pointed to the large zip-up bags, half filled with water, which were hanging over the animals.
Louis explained to me that there is nothing more effective at repelling flies than a bag of water with a yellow patch on the bottom. This is how a natural insecticide against flies!
This is because the "eyes" of flies are made up of hundreds of tiny eyes, and the reflection of the light on the water bag keeps them away.
So why put a yellow coin at the bottom of the bag?
Louis doesn't know exactly why it works, but he told me that all the farmers in the area do the same.
In his experience, a water bag with a yellow patch inside is even more effective than a bag on its own.
He added that he is not sure exactly how many square meters are protected by a single bag.
But since it's cheap and super easy to do, he hung lots of bags over his animals to keep as many flies away as possible.
He also put water bags with a yellow patch inside around his patio. And again, there were no flies that bothered us.
