This is *very* interesting. We saw this on television - a Rick Steves PBS
program. He does European travel programs (and writes guidebooks).
He was in a city in Spain (I can't remember which city) walking through a
quaint old neighborhood with a local friend.
They saw hanging plastic bags of water in a courtyard; the local told him
it was to keep away flies and that many people there do this. He asked the
lady who lived in that house if it worked: she said it did work for her.
I cannot think of any reason WHY it should work, but if several people say
that it works, I think it would certainly be worth a try.
Cheers,
Pat
