Hook 1 Bag of Water in your House and you will be surprised what happens 

I've heard about the bags of water for Flys before but never tried it. My brother-in-law made one and put pennies in the bag. He swears by that. Thanks.😊

I tried this. The sun shone through the window into the water and aluminium and that concentrated light was reflected onto my curtains which caught fire. My whole house burned down. I’m now homeless. On the upside, I made up a second water bag and hung it on the bush I’m sheltering under. It certainly keeps the flys away. The raccoons and I thank you for your amazing idea.

Growing up in south Texas we didn't have AC we lived on the coast so the wind blows all the time needless to say all the windows and doors were open.. my grandpa had bags of water hanging over every door and window.. we never had flies in the house! It works

In Central Pennsylvania, I visited an Al Paca Farm and I asked the Farmer what in the world were the "plastic water bottles with pennies?" He said the sunlight reflects off of the coins and that deters the flies. He places them in the fenced in area every 10 feet or so. Each bottle was filled just below the neck, and he had 3-4 pennies on each bottom. He said " I know you think I'm nuts, but it works."

NOTHING happened, I WASN'T surprised.

I used to cook 'on the riggs' - (oil camps) along, & off the Alaska Highway, in Northern Canada, & in the summertime, it was nice to leave the kitchen doors open...& we did a similar set up, as this - but instead of aluminum foil, we just threw in 3-4 pennies, & hung the bag from over the stove vents. Works lik a charm!!..no flies - ever!!!

To seal food in baggies, I just use a straw. Insert the straw in the corner, seal the bag, then suck out the air with the straw. Pull out the straw and seal the rest of the bag.

I’m in Australia so the first one is a must have for me! Thanks heaps.

Australia 🇦🇺! I'm an Aussie Both tips are great, we get a lot of flys here!! The veggie tip is fantastic, a great way to prolong the life of the veggies. 🤩🌻

Hi, I will definitely use these tips, thank you for uploading them. I have a cleaning tip: to shorten cleaning the top of your kitchen cupboards, clean them thoroughly with hot soapy water, or your usual go to cleaning solution. Once you are happy with the clean, Do Not Dry Off (leave it slightly damp) Instead put 'Cling film/clear plastic wrap over the surface as it will stick to the damp surface. Then next time you need to clean them, just carefully remove the cling film/clear plastic wrap so no dust falls off, then put it in the bin ❤ Now all you have to do is lightly dampen the surface and repeat.

Okay, first ....I'm from California my friend and that is the best example of mechanical aptitude that hinges closely with common sense. I have never known nor heard of these obvious solutions to common situations.....i really wanted to thank you for this. I love that i am humbled and seriously inspired to reflect more inward than outward now in life. This is no joke!!! I just wanted you to know that you literally gave me inspiration...thanks again and keep the smiles on

I love both tricks. Never heard about bag of water with aluminum balls🤓 To get rid of little banana flies: fill an empty jam glass with a little vinegar and 1 drop of liquid soap. Put plastic/ aluminum over top, then an elastic band around. Make a tiny hole in plastic/ aluminum foil. Flies seek in - and drown. (from Denmark).

Both were excellent! Thank you for sharing! 👍

Hi, I'm from Canada 🇨🇦 I liked both tips. Thank you for sharing your tips with us, it's greatly appreciated ❤

I really liked the tip about the plastic bag and aluminum foil. Thanks so much ❤

Thank you for the two amazing tips, honestly can’t pick a favourite, both have helped me majorly ❤

Your tip for keeping flies away and for keeping produce fresher in your refrigerator storage we’re both of significant importance and I definitely will be trying them. Thank you for sharing.!🙂🇨🇦

Loved them both. What good ideas. I'm from the USA. 🥰🥰

Love boths tips, I can't wait to try them!!!!! Thank you!!

We have done this on the back porch for years, makes for very enjoyable, fly-free picnics!

My dad was a butcher and taught us this but he used a pennie instead of aluminium foil. It really works.

From Canada 🇨🇦, I love both of these tips, especially the one to keep flies away 😃, thank you.

You had my undivided attention. Thank you. I'm sharing now

Both tips are amazing and so useful to know. Thank you so much. Sending greetings from the UK x

We had these all over Southern AZ when I was growing up. They work.

Thank you for both of those great tips. The tip for the carrots, getting air out of the bag before sealing, is so smart!!!!

Learning with pleasure and gratitude from Ghana in West Africa.

The bag of water 'trick' really works, even without the tinfoil. Been doing it every summer for years near open doors, outside. I learned about it many years ago on a Rick Steves Travel Tour of Portugal. It has to do with the atmospheric pressure & humidity that flying insects can detect. They avoid having water above them, as a drop of water can wipe them out. Also, the old inverted plastic popbottle wasp trap works well ... but I will add soap next time, thanks for the explanation. Science!

Loved both. Have a need for both! Thank you

Keep your fruits and vegetables and glass containers. They will last so much longer my strawberries last three weeks ps Celery, wrapped in aluminum foil will last forever in your refrigerator

U are a genius thanks for sharing both great ideas u made my day wow ❤️👌🙌

I always use a clear baggie near the door with a penny and it helps tremendously for a couple pennies try this Wendy from the USA , Thank you for all your videos You help me so much

You can also use shiny new pennies! I did this on my porch last summer and it worked!

Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺 Absolutely awesome tips 👏👏👏 Thanks for sharing 👍

I had seen the bags with pennies in water, but didn't know what they were for, Thank you Going to give it a try

Kim O. From the United States 🇺🇸. I see lots of people who commented on this and some have even used this method but with pennys. I’m going to definitely share this video if I see it works! Ty

Great tip , thanks so much ❤

I was curious about the bag of water, and it might come in handy during the summer time for us, and around the BBQ or when we want spend time outside in the yard. Very cool. Though the veggies sealing trick was awesome - it eliminates the need for a machine sealer. I'm going to be using this and I can't wait to try it out. It should be fun and my food will last longer!

Colorado Catherine here and thanks for the tips! Looking forward to summer and flies outta my house

For the flies that aren't afraid of bags of water with foil balls... Take any container that holds liquid that you don't mind throwing away after it fills up with dead flies. Pour your left over pop that you didn't finish into a clear (so you can see the dead flies) plastic cup or bowl etc. Add a few drops of dish soap to the liquid. The sugary liquid attracts the flies for a drink. The soap breaks the surface tension of the liquid so when the flies come for a drink, they can't land on it without being trapped in it and drowning. Works for hornets too. When the container gets full of dead flies, throw the whole thing out and start over. This isn't going to create a fly free zone. It's just gonna kill a bunch of them and reduce the population. Every female fly that drowns equals hundreds of flies not being born. To stop the hornets, you will have to follow them to their nest and destroy it. The sweet water and soap will only kill some of them. Best fly killer is dairy barn spray. Spray some on your door frame and screen. That repels them for awhile. Follow safety directions on can. Best prevention is to eliminate any manure or other animal feces, dead animals, etc, that they lay their eggs on. Even cat shit will attract them. Get rid of anything that smells bad. Cuz that's what smells good to a fly. Try to control the incoming flies when spring comes. If they breed, you will have tens of thousands more. All they need is I little pile of your pets shit, or a dead mouse, and they can lay thousands of eggs on it. Keep your living zone as clean as possible.

The food preserving video is great. I have a vacume sealer but this is faster, easier and cheaper. It will also work great for packing nonfood items in a more compact manner such as cloths.

Never been tried both tricks but I will give it a try. Thank you for such a wonderful tutorial video!

Thanks for the tips. Watching from Atlanta ga.

You could also use small "disco ball" like christmas balls they sell sometimes in decor stores to drive flies away. Just put them in a clear glass table centerpiece bowl

I've never encountered anything like this at our market... definitely gonna try this fly repellent. Thanks for sharing from Philippine 😊

I’m from the heartland in Illinois in the US, and I’ve used pennies… The foil floating around makes a lot of sense! I’ve got to both try, and share this; thank you❣️

Love this I’m from New Brunswick canada

Honestly, great tips. For sure will use them. Thank you.

Neat trick with the bagged veggies and water. Ingenuity at its best

I’m from Queensland, Australia! Do you have any hints for mosquitoes please?

Conway Arkansas, USA!!! HELLO to you!!! Great video!

My favorite was the one that will keep flies away, but I really did like both tricks! Thank you for sharing.

My hubby showed me when we first got married the "sealing" meat and veggies with plastic bags and water. It's really easy and works well!! Love from Connecticut USA!

Wow thx you sre amazing Brilliant!

From Wyoming, USA. I’m loving the fly trick. Will definitely try it this summer. Thank you for sharing. 💕🥰💕

*I can say the zip lock in water works extremely well* - Note that for the freezer, you need to dry off the outside of the bag, otherwise it will freeze to other items and tear the bag when moved, breaking the air seal. I am single and don't consume a lot of anything quickly, and I hate small stops at the grocery - I use it (or in some cases just suck the air out of the ziplock) to extend bread buns in the cupboard for several weeks without getting stale or moldy, chopped lettuce in the fridge to last for several weeks, I haven't found the limit for meats and buns in the freezer.

Thank you to both of you, and for both of those great tips. Highly appreciated

Extremely useful. Thank you.

Thanks going to try this! Marie, South Africa

My grandmother always did that too. I completely forgot. Thanks for the reminder, greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭

Hello from the United States, Indiana to be precise 👋 I can't wait to try the water & foil idea this spring. We live in close proximity to a couple cattle farms and the flies are atrocious. I'm praying this trick works and I can actually enjoy my time and not keep a fly swatter in hand at all times lol

Valuable tips.Thanks. good day

Wah bagusnya..saya suka

We fill a dish with water then put a bunch of frogs in it, they'll catch all the flies and you don't need to use plastic and aluminium!

Spring is right around the corner here. I look forward to using this method and will tell everyone i know! Bugs bug me lol 🇨🇦

Wow! How could I have missed that!? Thanks for the fly repellent! 🙏

I learned something new today, thx!!

David from Sydney Australia thanks you.

Creating a near vacuum seal using water pressure is my favorite. It's so low tech but achieves the same thing as sealers.

I'm from Malaysia. Houseflies are common here. Great tip. I'll be trying it. Also another tip from the comments , ie, a few drops of dish wash in a sweet drink. Thank you

Thank you so much. Watching from Zambia, Solwezi to be precisely

the second tip was really amazing. Thanks.

Wow I’ve been doing this for 25 years I don’t put the foil but it still works it really works

Very Interesting, I will try it, Thank you, for sharing this INFO!👍😁

Your never to old to learn thank you for telling us about this I like both great will try these out have a great day

I had seen the water bags in New Orleans 15 years ago. I asked my coworker, a New Orleans native "What's up with the bags." They were hanging on the outside of a restaurant that had sidewalk dining. He told me that it scares the flies away..... As for the vacuum sealed carrots, this is how i marinate meats. The vacuum seal allows for the flavors of the marinade to be better absorbed by the meat.

The sounds are so satisfying to me.

Loved both & comments👍💗

Oh wow that's awesome I will try. From NC

Cor! Your video was so ASMR, made my head tingle 😃. Great, thanks!

Wow, both these actually work! Love using the baggie for food!

Thank you for sharing.

Thanku so much

Pure genius and I know this will work because of the peculiar nature of flies vision it completely throws them. Such a good idea and then the one to expell air from a zip bag of veg is really clever too as i thought you had to suck out the air with a drinking straw but the water does the same job - so well thought out. Greetings from SW England.

*_I see this being done at our food stalls in Singapore but without the aluminium foil. It worked as well :)_*

Hi from Colorado 🇺🇸 these are great tips thanks

Great tip, thanks. Martin from Ireland...

Thank you for the tips … maybe I’m the only one but … being that I have to read all of your videos … I have a hard time seeing the script with the font in white and the background is white … just my thought… but remember … you have great tips

If this worked for carpenter bees also it would be wonderful ! Thanks

Andrew from Scotland...thanks for tips.

Thanks for the tips! I am in the UK.

Originally from India now living in the United States. God bless you. Thank you for sharing. Definitely will try the aluminum foil one😥we get lots of unexpected flies this time of the year (beginning of Spring).

Cheap and affordable . Great tips

Watching from USA..State of Texas. Great tips thank you🙋

great video. thanks for both tips

Here in Spain, we hang up plastic bags with water, without the foil. I'm going to try it with foil when fly time comes around. Thanks for the tip about the vegetable. Will try it too!

Celery and spring onions keep growing after you've cut them if placed in a bag, in the fridge. Just need to twist the end of the bag. No elastic bands required, and just cover the ends of the celery with a bag. Hey presto.

Just subscribed, many thanks from England 👍🇬🇧👌

Thankyou from Australia 😊👍🐨🇦🇺💖

This is the very definition of unintentional ASMR😍♥️
