Hard to keep flies away from something that smells so good ;)'

I have found a trap that Lowes sales and it works very well.  It's a plastic bag that you add water to and hang it from a tree or post

Hang up a zip lock bag filled with H2O and put a couple of shiny pennies in it.

I put up a fly trap bag 5 days ago and I kid you not there are 500 dead flies in it. They carry them at wal-mart and hardware stores

putting aside the fact that it seems to work, GROSS. I hate flies. We just battled fruit flies here and I won. I just took a food container like you get from the deli and poked one small hole in it. Then put an inch of cider vinegar in and set near where they are most. For me in was by the sink and by the banana hanger. Within a couple of days, mostly gone.

Thank for that.  I just bought one and was going to put it in the garage, near the door into the house.  It's going outside now.
