The bags of water are reported to work much better if you put in a shiny penny. I don't know why it supposedly works but it sure seems to make a
difference. We have a restaurant in Colorado that hangs quite a few on their outdoor patio and I have yet to see a fly there, ever.

I heard on the radio yesterday that the practice of putting a lime into a corona or any beer was to keep the flies away, they don't like the lime
juice. Perhaps mixing lime and water and spraying it may do the same trick. However I would think a zapper would be more usuful.

I have used fly predators in the States, and they work wonders. But they are sent in the mail every month during fly season.... My question is would
they clear customs and make it here to my Yet Mail P.o. Box...they are pretty pricey to risk getting confiscated!!!!

I always wanted to circle the camp with the extra wide sticky bug tape/paper that the farmers use to detect what type of insect is bothering their
crops, so they know what to spray for.
I envisioned that it would capture all the flies and mosquitoes that would have invaded my camp, and stand as a warning to all the others to stay
away.
I also have plenty of fly swatters on hand, at various places around camp.
When I take a siesta in the afternoon I position a flyswatter into my armpit so it stands tall like a warning flag to any fly that dares to interrupt
my beauty sleep. It really works. Serious.

edit to remove an extra fish that appeared on the scene.

I remember now going to Mexican house parties where the ladies sprinkled lime juice on all the food & drink tables. They said it helped keep the
flies away as they don't like it so well.

They love beer, so of course entice them with your empty cans... away from your porch or door way.

Sally
Actually everyone here calls them oranges. They are not limones but they are not really naranjas tampoco.....they taste like cilantro to me.
That one was still on the tree in my yard after a machete wielding gardener did some pruning.

I believe Sally's fruit is a lima....which I LOVE too...very mild not acidic taste that seems to be aquired and makes lovely fresh lima-ade. When we
eat them, we just chew the peices and spit out the skin....they are very good for your stomach.
