Ive recently had a fly problem and I didnt want to use toxins so ive been using the sticky tape method. Then by suggestion from a friend I tried an old trick from portugal fill clear bags full of water and then tie them shut and hang them. This actually reduced considerably the amount of flies. What is the science behind this?
I attached it to the wall and then tied the reed partition across to the wooden fence on the opposite side (about 6ft across).
I have a sweet patio but all the rubbish from the street flies up and collects in my flower pots and planters, it looks awful. I am forever collecting it
I can’t have anything permanent there so bought this reed partition which is 6ft high and tied it across and it really does the trick. But it won’t stand straight (winds etc) Is there a non-permanent pole with a heavy base (or an idea) that I can buy/make to support it in the middle (perhaps not at the moment with these high UK winds!) but when things calm down.. any ideas what I can use? Is there such a thing as a free standing suppport pole. I keep looking but haven’t seen anything… perhaps you yahoo’ers can suggest something..
