Spring and summer are the insect breeding seasons. A foreign mother complained that flies often appeared in the kitchen. She followed a “zero-cost repel method” on the Internet and hung a plastic bag filled with water and coins by the window, which successfully eliminated the flies. A Hong Kong pest control expert was interviewed by Qingbao to explain the principles behind it, but said that this method of repelling insects would become ineffective under certain circumstances.

A foreign mother posted on Facebook a few days ago that there are often 5 or 6 small flies flying around in the center of the kitchen in summer. She said she had seen other netizens using plastic bags filled with water and coins to drive away the flies, so she decided to give it a try . As can be seen from the photo, she hung a transparent plastic bag on the kitchen window with water and 6 coins in it. She said that since hanging the bags in the window, there have been no flies in the kitchen. The whole method is cost-effective.
After the post was exposed, many netizens asked regarding the rationale behind driving away flies. The victim said he had done some research and found that water and coins form a “prism” that reflects colors and projects the image of water. Flies do not like the colors emitted by water and coins.
“Flies have compound eyes, so these bags look like a giant body of water to them, so they move away.”

Netizens praise the method as effective
Netizens also shared that following using this method of repelling insects, there are no more flies in the house. “Since 9 a.m., there have been no flies in our house. So far, everything is fine!”, “This method is also effective outdoors. I am in I hung one on the terrace and the flies disappeared”, “This is great, I’m going to try it”. However, some people are worried regarding breaking the plastic bag and spilling water everywhere. Others suggest other ways to repel insects, “I know my husband, this bastard will break the plastic bag”, “You can put it in a plastic bag” Coke with sugar or honey will keep the wasps away.”
Methods that rely on sunlight to repel flies are inconsistently effective
Liang Guangyuan, president of the Hong Kong Pest Control Practitioners Association, said in an interview with Qingbao that the “zero-cost insect repellent method” relies on refracted light, but it is easily affected by the environment. When there is a lack of sunlight, flies can enter the house and cannot really drive away the flies. , believing that this method has little effect in driving away flies. He believes that to cure the problem, we should pay attention to home hygiene, regularly clean the water in the bottom of potted plants, spray insecticide water at the water level, and use fluorescent paper and fruit fly bait to reduce pests in the home.
Hong Kong pest control expert Yam Wing-keung said that the principle is similar to “disc repelling birds”, but due to the limited range of light reflection, flies can still fly into the house through gaps. Therefore, he suggested starting from the source of environmental problems, using covered trash cans, regularly clearing stagnant water, and reducing food and living space so that flies cannot lay eggs. In addition, he also recommended two methods to repel and eliminate flies.
