Just seen a post on Facebook that said if you fill a ziplock bag with water and add 4/5 pennies into the water, then hang the bag in the entrance to a door way or window it will keep flies out.

Yes, it does work. Within seconds the door is jammed with Aberdonians trying to get the pennies out. There is no room for flies to pass.

The flies were later attracted to the smell of Mancunians and the Aberdonians were actually adding pennies to attract thieving Mancunians for extermination.

A bunch of Basil will deter flies (better still buy the herb in a pot) then you can use some with your barbie
