We use the water in the zip lock all the time and it works great. I guess we should try it with the pennies and see which way works better. With 4 dogs laying around our back door and a city park with a lake just down the road, we have flies.

I've never tried it before, mainly just the fly paper hanging.
We did once buy one of those fly trap things. You put water in it, hang it from a tree and the flys go into it. I has some sort of stuff in it that attracts the flys and it worked well.
Hubby says a friend of ours always had them outside her windows. I never noticed them, but then again, she had a cute little baby and I was always doting on him. lol

DH and I went into a pizza parlor and they had the door open. Hung above the door was an empty soda bottle (the large one) filled with water. He said the same thing, that it is supposed to keep the flies out.
