Inspired by the Mexican tradition of scaring off flies by hanging clear bags from the ceiling of taco kiosks (really?!), designer Jose Delao created the slick "Anty Fly." Handy and beautiful, this object makes use of water's natural ability to refract color and light, both properties which cause too much movement for a lil' fly to tolerate. The trade off? Troublesome pests stay away and your tacos live in peace.

Yeah, really. I live in Texas and almost all outdoor patios at bars/restaurants have ziplock baggies half full of water hanging all over the place.
and it works !!!
the explanation is that allegedly bugs see a reflection of an animal similar but much bigger to themselves which scares them away, although im unsure that that is the the actual reason, for i've never seen flies uncomfortable with swarms or similar bugs.
any ways, it does work at some rate.
