If you ever spot a bag of water hanging above your neighbor’s door, here’s what it means. CHeck out more in video below!

I defy you to name a better time of the year than summer. Just take a moment and picture it: long barbecue evenings with loved ones, peaceful, silent reading under a tree in the shade, days on the beach with a cool dip in the sea. The list goes on and on…

Of course, no season is truly perfect, and the summer splendor always brings with it a few unfortunate aspects. One obvious drawback that comes to mind is insects; flies in particular.

And yet, fret not, for your friends at Newsner are here to lend a helping hand. It turns out there’s a trick that can help you ensure that bothersome insects in and around the home become a thing of the past.

Now, I’ll be up front about the fact that I can’t take credit for the life-hack you’re about to read. I stumbled upon it by accident last year when, while at my family’s summer house, I noticed one of the neighbors had a plastic bag filled with water hanging from his front porch.

Needless to say, I was left confused enough to ask what it was, and I’m glad I did as much.

As it happens, there’s a simple home remedy for keeping your residence clear of flies, and all you need is a plastic freezer bag of any size, some table salt, lime juice, a few coins, and water.

Fill the freezer bag with the above listed ingredients, then hang one or more bags above your doors or where most needed.
