Tried 2 bags on our front porch and evidently TN flies haven't gotten the message. Doesn't seem to deter them at all. Now we'rre wwaiting for the hummingbirds to poke a hole in them since they are very inquisitive about them. The ol' flyswatter is still getting a good workout.

We were in a bar in Bandera, Tx and inside they had bras hanging all over the place. Outside they had the penny bags. There were no flys on the patio. Not sure what the bras were supposed to scare away.

Works great to keep elephants away also.

"They keep flies away" is actually translated by locals as, "They make tourists ask stupid questions."

You have to use old silver dollars instead of pennies!

the thing that works the best at a big gathering is put a cell phone and 2 cups of water in the plastic bag and that solves two problems

I think what skipnchar was referring to is that many people believe that the massively-forwarded emails that we all get (...and forward...) from time-to-time are designed by the 'bad guys' to collect a large amount of email addresses, which they then use to send spam to. Think about it...when you get crazy amounts of spam...it's not because they 'guessed' what your email address is...and emails like this might be how they are collected.

Not saying that it's true or not...just saying that I think that's what skipnchar was talking about.
