    why do flies avoid a hanging bag with water

    A friend told me that to keep flies out of the house you can hang a plastic zipper bag half full of water in the doorway. And it works! But I want to know why. Anybody know?

        I think it messes up their vision  because of light refraction

          Some insist the flies perceive the clear liquid as the surface of a body of water. Others claim the insect flies away at the sight of its own magnified reflection. But the most popular reasoning that pops up among entomologists and patent-filing entrepreneurs is simple light refraction.
