Clear plastic bags w/ water to repel flies/mosquitos??
Stopped by my girlfriends grandfathers ranch a while back, and there were ziplock bags with water, hanging all over the place. Aunt said they repel flying pests better than anything she's ever used!
Anyone else ever heard of, or used this method??

The Cubans here in Miami do that a lot. As a matter of fact my niegbors do it. However it is not water, it is Vinegar in the bag. The main purpose was for Fly's. It works, they had a Rottwieler that lived outside, and it's food was under the patio, no Fly's. That was pretty impressive for Miami in the summertime!!!!

Nzi Trap
Don't know about the bags, but here's a link to a pesticide free trap designed and built in Africa. A woman I talked with built one and put it near her manure pile and said it kept her horses fly free.
I'll be experimenting with it next spring. One of my horses is allergic to biting noseeums, and doesn't like fly sprays much either.

It is water in the bags, and it only works if used properly. You put them by entrances of a house, or by windows that are left open and have no screen. The reason behind it is it tricks the flies into thinking it is a wasp nest, because they see the shape of the object, and it resembles a nest, and the natural enemy of flies is the wasp. Paul Harvey did his "now this is the rest of the story" about this about a year ago.
