Here’s How to Keep Flies Out of Your Home!

Ready for the Solution?

Chances are you already have everything you need at home. It’s not chemical. You don’t need to buy any expensive gadgets. And no, it’s not a magical plant or some rare essential oil drop. It’s… a clear bag of water. And a few coins. Sounds strange? We get it. But it works!

How Does It Work?

Flies have compound eyes—a kind of mosaic made of tiny lenses—making them extremely sensitive to light and movement. If you fill a clear plastic bag with water and drop in a few shiny coins, the reflected light creates a confusing prism effect. Flies interpret this as a threat or disturbance and instinctively keep their distance. They literally think something is off at your doorway or open window.

How to Make It Yourself

  • Take a strong, clear freezer bag or ziplock bag
  • Fill it a little more than halfway with water
  • Add 3 to 5 shiny coins
  • Seal the bag tightly
  • Hang it near your window or door using a string or clip

You can hang multiple bags at different openings. It’s odorless, safe, and even adds a little summer charm. And the best part? No more flies inside! Did you know this trick already? Give it a try and see for yourself! No more buzzing in your ears, no flies on your food, and most importantly, no more frustration in your own home. It doesn’t get simpler than this!
