Perhaps you’ve visited a restaurant and seen clear, water-filled bags hanging on the doors．You might ask，“What’s all this about? Some crazy new way to control temperature?A method of saving money on water containers?”While any effect on temperature is purely accidental，these hanging bags are all about driving pests away．

The water bag method to drive flies away has many supporters So how does the method drive flies away?Some insist the flies regard the clear liquid as the surface of a body of water．Others think the insect flies away at the sight of its own big reflection．But the most popular reasoning that exists among scientists is light refraction(折射)．

The insect’s fiead mostly consists of a pair of large complex eyes，each of which is made up of 3，000，to 6,000 simple eyes．These eyes can’t focus on objects like human eyes，instead they provide the fly with a mosaic(拼凑的)view of the world around them．A housefly bases its sense of direction on the sunlight．Some scientists believe that when these complex and sensitive eyes experience refracted light，the insect becomes confused and flies away．

Plenty of people don’t think water bags can keep flies away．Mike Stringham，a professor，conducted a 13-week field trial on two egg farms．He concluded those areas equipped with water bags actually experienced higher levels of housefly activity．Its purpose was to determine whether the water bags could be used to decrease fly populations on egg farms．

So do bags of water lower the number of houseflies around homes and restaurants? There are reasonable explanations that argue yes and strong evidence that proves no．Anyway，you can still find water bags hanging near restaurants and backyards across the globe．
