Step by step How to Make a diy fly trap for Free!!

This is wild. I made a bottle as per instructions, except I whisked an egg with water, added some fish sauce, bit of vinegar and a couple of salmon skins from dinner, cut holes in bottle and added the bait, then left it. Caught a few flies in the first days, but nothing to write home about. About a week later I went to look at it and..... my God.... it was like a horror show in there. Solid black. I leave the bottle on its side so it doesnt blow over, and once per day upend it so the dead flies go to the bottom, and put it back. The 2L bottle is currently about 1/3rd full of solid flies. It stinks a bit if you get close (within maybe 4m / 16ft), but damn does it work... (we were getting pestered by lots of flies this year during bbq's, seems the neighbours were being careless with their rubbish)

I'll be trying this. I've ordered some fishmeal powder, to that add some baking yeast and sugar. I'm hoping to get close to the dry bait used in the original red top fly catcher as they are awesome. I'll make some with eggs though to compare. Your method clearly works great 👍🏻

My uncle says light beer like Miller works really great also 👌

That's exactly what I needed. Your the best. Thanks so much

I don't know why this video doesn't have more views because seriously it is the best DIY ever I wish I had this in my barn at the racetrack this would have been a lifesaver but I have a cat rescue and my animals are on wood pellets and even though there's no cat urine smell for some reason flies are just ridiculous but I'm going to give this a go thank you so very much for the share!

I cannot stress enough how great this worked! I'm so glad I saw this! Only thing I did differently was use fresh eggs. They rotted in the bottle. Thank you for posting!

Great trap. Thanks!

Thanks, I will also use a plastic bottle. In the grand scheme of things one of my greatest joys & preoccupations is to trap houseflies & wasps in jam jars. I create some holes on the jam jar covers/caps, throw in some chicken/fish remains & secure the caps. I manage to trap about 300 plus per jar every two days. This may sound revolting to you but I basically abhor irritating insects, specially when they come for the cooking & when one is having meals. Besides, there is a Chinese saying which goes that when one has achieved everything in life & nothing to do there is no greater pleasure than in swatting flies.

U saved my day let me do it, and l like your English accent

Nice job. 👍

wow😯amazing,thanks for good advice🙂

Amazing...👍👍👍🙏

Brilliant.

I hate flies

Just popping back to say thanks. I used your design. But used yeast instead of the eggs. Working a treat.

Place it at least 50 feet away from your home so the flies are attracted AWAY rather than toward your home. And, like you said, the smell.

What's an effective house fly trap for indoors?

Seems great, but do you have a bait for indoors?

Quick question, is it better to have the trap hanging up higher or is it just as effective on the ground? I live in France & our region is well known for flies this time of year & lots of goat farms!! Cheers

Good
