Mums have found a way to stop banish flies for good in summer without using any chemicals. It involves placing a handful of coins inside a Zip-lock bag full of water then hanging from the ceiling, window or under the patio to keep bugs away
The bag is then positioned high on the top of a backyard door, window or under the patio to keep the bugs away
