ek het vir admin gevra om inligting in file stoor. kry die ziplock wat kan vloeistof hanteer of enige sakkie wat kan vloeistof hanteer. dan maak dit water vol maar nie te vol nie en gooi 6 tot 8 5 sente daar in en maak toe en sit op die venster bank of hang dit op diefwering venster waar lig vang. die brommer en vliee sal hul g@t weg vlieg. ons suid afrika het nie pennies nie so ek het die prent en inligting gekry een van die site. ek het maar 5 sente getoets en dit werk.

dis albasters met bietjie water. Ek het dit oral opgehang die lig maak blykbaar hul oe deurmekaar maar nog vroeg om te se of dit werk. Ons het nog nie eintlik goggas na die winter nie.vir muskiete sny hulle n coke bottel oop en draai bek ondertoe dan gooi jy sterk koeldrank in bodem muskiete gaan in maar Kani uit.vir muise vat ek wyebek bottel smeer olie binnekant bek sit bait in en Piet muis gaan in maar kanni uit.dit werk regtig al n paar gevang mooi dag
Probleme met Vlieë?
Maak ‘n Ziplock sakkies half vol water en sit so 5 of 6 koper kleingeld in die sakkie met water. Maak sakkie toe en bind dit vas om ‘n paal of teen die muur. (Sien foto hieronder)
Zip Lock Baggies...........who knew?
We went with friends to a restaurant on Sunday for lunch and sat in the patio section beside the store. We happened to notice zip lock baggies pinned to a post and a wall. The bags were half filled with ...water, each contained 4 pennies, and they were zipped shut. Naturally we were curious! The owner told us that these baggies kept the flies away! So naturally we were even more curious! We actually watched some flies come in the open window, stand around on the window sill, and then fly out again. And there were no flies in the eating area! This morning I checked this out on Google.
Below are comments on this fly control idea. I'm now a believer!
Zip-lock water bags:
1 Says: I tried the zip lock bag and pennies this weekend. I have a horse trailer. The flies were bad while I was camping. I put the baggies with pennies above the door of the LQ. NOT ONE FLY came in the trailer.The horse trailer part had many. Not sure why it works but it does!
2 Says:Fill a zip lock bag with water and 5 or 6 pennies and hang it in the problem area. In my case it was a particular window in my home. It had a slight passage way for insects. Every since I have done that, it has kept flies and wasps away. Some say that wasps and flies mistake the bag for some other insect nest and are threatened.
3 Says:I swear by the plastic bag of water trick. I have them on porch and basement. We saw these in Northeast Mo. at an Amish grocery store& have used them since. They say it works because a fly sees a reflection& won't come around.
4 Says:Regarding the science behind zip log bags of water? My research found that the millions of molecules of water presents its own prism effect and given that flies have a lot of eyes, to them it's like a zillion disco balls reflecting light, colors and movement in a dizzying manner. When you figure that flies are prey for many other bugs, animals, birds, etc., they simply won't take the risk of being around that much perceived action. I moved to a rural area and thought these "hillbillies" were just yanking my city boy chain but I tried it and it worked immediately! We went from hundreds of flies to seeing the occasional one, but he didn't hang around long.

Why Flies and Water Bags Just Can't Get Along
The water bag method of fly repellant has many supporters, from restaurant owners to backyard grill-masters. Many success stories ranging from the mild to the miraculous litter the Internet.
So how does the method drive flies away? Some insist the flies perceive the clear liquid as the surface of a body of water. Others claim the insect flies away at the sight of its own magnified reflection. But the most popular reasoning that pops up among entomologists and patent-filing entrepreneurs is simple light refraction.
Refraction takes place when a clear or opaque object, such as a piece of glass or a bag of water, alters the course and velocity of light. The rays of light, which normally travel in a straight line, bend. This effect is responsible for a number of optical illusions, such as mirages, that occasionally baffle humans as well. For more information on refraction, read How Light Works.
In theory, refraction can be just as confusing for some species of insect, especially the housefly. It boasts a highly sensitive array of eyes which allow it to see in multiple directions at once.
The insect's head mostly consists of a pair of large complex eyes, each of which is composed of 3,000 to 6,000 simple eyes. These eyes can't move or focus on objects like human eyes, but they provide the fly with a mosaic view of the world around them. Each simple eye provides one small piece of the puzzle, much like the way a screen's pixel delivers one detail of the larger picture.
A housefly bases its sense of direction on the direction sunlight comes from. Some entomologists believe that when these complex, sensitive eyes experience refracted light, the insect becomes confused and flies away.
While some supporters claim water bags keep all kinds of flying insects away, most report success with complex-eyed insects, like houseflies.
