    I've also seen plastic bags filled with water work, I saw it at a restaurant's outdoor cafe in Florida. The waiter explained that to a fly, the water filled bag looks like a predator. The outdoor cafe was right on the water, there should have been flys but I didn't see a single one. We dined peacefully.
