I’m not sure about you, but it seems like every summer, the bugs just keep getting worse. You might find yourself avoiding going outside after dinner when the bugs seem to multiply and start planning their attacks.

But you shouldn’t have to miss out on outdoor time because of annoying pests. Instead, try this super simple and inexpensive hack from Newsner to keep bugs away from your house.

Here’s what you’ll need:

– A heavy-duty freezer bag
– A sprinkle of table salt
– A splash of lime juice
– A few coins
– Water

First, fill the freezer bag with all the items listed. Seal it and then hang the bag above your door or anywhere else near your house where bugs tend to gather. Make sure the spot gets sunlight or indoor light if you’re hanging it indoors.

Now, you might wonder how hanging a bag filled with water can deter flies. Here’s the deal: When the water and coins reflect light into the bugs’ eyes, they get disoriented. They have trouble seeing and flying, so they quickly learn to stay away from the area with the hanging bag. The best part about this hack is that it’s completely humane — no need for chemicals or bug-killing!
