I don't know about this glass orb, but the plastic baggies do actually work. My aunt and I saw it at a friend's BBQ and thought it was the most ridiculous folk myth thing ever, but we both noticed that there really weren't any flies around. So we set up an experiment-- we didn't use the baggies at my cousin's high school grad party, but we did use the baggies at my college graduation party, both outside. There were millions of flies at my cousin's party (gross), and only 3 or 4 at mine. It doesn't clear 100% of flies, but I'd genuinely estimate at least 80%. I don't know of anything that works as well.

There are simple Ikea shelves I have, I got them for like $10 each I think. It's just a plain pine board and the brackets. But the brackets can be installed upside down or right side up. Good luck!
