Get RId of Flies Has anyone ever heard of this? 2 of my friends swear by it.

There are lots of gnats around lately…

want to get rid of them?

If you are grilling out or playing or just sitting around in some adirondack chairs-

FILL UP ZIPLOCK SANDWICH BAGS WITH WATER,

ALMOST FULL, NOT ALL THE WAY.

Put these bags on tables, the arms of chairs, etc.

AND MAKE SURE THEY ARE IN THE SUN!

The scattering of light by the water in the bags confuses gnats and flies,

AND THUS, they stay away!

I haven’t tried this myself, because I haven’t had the need,

but if you have a sandwich bag, you can try it- FOR FREE.

Let me know your results

Happy De- Bugging !

This might be a silly question, but do you zip up the bags? Or leave them open so that the gnats can get to the water?
