Ziplock Bags for Fly Control

This was sent to me from my Husbands Grandmother by Email.  I’m not sure who had this idea but it’s a good one.

How to Keep Flies away:

Fill a Ziplock Bag with water then add 5-6 pennies and seal it up.

Hang it where the Flies are a problem. Some say this works with Wasps too.  (I hung mine up by punching a hole above the seal and using a shoe lace through the hole).

The bugs mistake the bag for other insect nests and are threatened.  Or it could be that they see their reflection and think it’s another bug.  Either way I’m told that it works!

How to Clean your Washing Machine

I never thought about having to clean the washing machine – after all isn’t it always clean due to the laundry detergent and rinse cycle?  Nope.  Your Machine can build up grim from dirt, detergents and also bad odors.

Warning: DO NOT MIX Bleach and Vinegar together!!

Instructions:

  • Fill washer with hot water then add 1 quart of bleach
  • Let machine run for 1 minute to mix it up
  • Let it sit still for an hour then complete cycle

Then

  • Fill with hot water
  • Add 1 quart of white vinegar
  • Let machine run for 1 minute to mix it up
  • Let it sit for an hour then complete the cycle

These instructions are from DIY Blog and provides a little more detail with photos.
