Every time we go outside we have flies come in. What will keep flies away and kill them?

Put a can of soda where the flies are. Pop the top and empty some soda out of can and watch the flies get stuck in there and die. Make sure it is not diet soda. Has to have sugar. When full discard and put out a new one if flies are still present.

I am copying an idea I thought was simple and brilliant from another blog. I have not tried it yet, but plan to. I am also going to try it using a hanging a mason jar instead of a baggie so it looks a little nicer. You can go to the link below and read the successful results that others got from using this method - In the kitchen we hung three half-filled zip lock bags of water, with four pennies in each bag. There. We had our natural fly killer up and were waiting for the flies to land — somewhere but on the dog waiting patiently below the zip lock bag to see what would happen next. We had tied the closed bags with a twine and hung them (with most of the air removed) in varied corners in the kitchen, porch and outside patio. Within one hour, over 3/4 of the flies were gone. Regarding the science behind zip log bags of water? My research found that each of 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. Here is the link to the blog I read it on - Read more athttp://www.waycooldogs.com/a-ziplock-bag-of-water-and-4-pennies-no-flies/#0wuQlD7Xb1pEhfR3.99

Place 10 bright shiny copper pennies on a ziplog bag, fill the bag with water and hang next to your door. I know this sounds crazy...but it really works.
