bbq: I'm having a bunch of friends over this weekend for crabs and BBQ. We have done this the past couple years and last year (which was a really bad year for flies anyway), the flies were awful. Anyone have any tips to try and keep the area clear? I'm planning on doing the old zip lock bags with pennies, salt, & lime juice, and obviously will be bagging the garbage, and keeping it away from the eating area as practicable. Anything else you know of that helps?|||Look in Walmart or some other store for a fly repellent candle or something.. They release gases that the flies don't like when ignited, should keep the flies away! Have a nice BBQ man, stay safe!|||Fly strips. Bug light. Candles. Citronella torches. One of my favourites, and it works for wasps too is to get a bucket, half fill it with water. Get a stick that is long enough go from side to side and a bit more. Tie a string to the middle and hang a healthy-sized piece of smoked salmon or other smoked fish from it above the water. Wasps and flies will gorge on it, then fall into the water. Should the flies not think it has enough sugar, you can do a few buckets and suspend raw fish or something sweet that the flies would like. Do up a few of them and keep them a reasonable distance from where people and food are.|||Some bottled water with the labels off will work like the bags of water. Has to be the clear plastic. Old CDs hanging will move and reflect light and repel flies. About 20 whole cloves stuck in an apple or something on the table repels flies.|||http://www.instructables.com/id/Fly-Trap鈥?/a> Make a flytrap or buy one on amazon.com or maybe your local store.|||off is the best soultion
