Flies

A cold front should bring patio weather to most of Texas this weekend. While it will help with the heat, it won't stop the bugs, but this inexpensive hack will.

Does hanging a zip-lock bag with pennies in water actually work in keeping flies away? Well, it depends on who you ask...

Repellent and sprays do not work because these flies aren't affected by it.

Apparently in the south we swear by this "shoo fly" method.
