A simple trick to stop flies and wasps from coming into your house

Melissa Carton

It’s that the time of year again where flies and wasps are about to everywhere.

Having a small toddler in my home I’m particularly wary of wasps and how bad a sting would be for her, so I’m constantly trying to find ways to keep the house wasp free .

I came across this trick a little while ago and it actually works!

The trick is to place some copper coins in a plastic bag and then fill the bag with water.

Tie the handles of the bag together and hang it from your door or window to stop unwanted bugs from entering your home.

This works at keeping away flies and wasps because they assume that the bag is a bee’s nest and back well off.

It’s also great if you’re holding a small outdoor gathering or are on a family camping trip and want to keep the bugs at bay.

I’ve seen lots of other parents have had positive results with this handy house hack.

Now if there was a trick this simple to keep pollen out of the house that would be great.

Have you tried this plastic bag and pennies hack before and if you have, did you find that it worked for you?
