It's WISE to DIY: Thrify Ideas for the Do-It-Yourselfer

These 3 Common Ingredients Clearly Work Better Than Any Store-Bought Trap

Here is your recipe:

  • 1/4 tsp dry yeast
  • 1/4 brown sugar
  • 1 cup lukewarm water

You will also need a plastic bottle.

Directions:

  1. Cut the top off the plastic bottle.
  2. Mix up your solution.
  3. Pour it in the base of the bottle and put the top back on upside-down.  Now, the flies an get in but cannot get out.
  4. The CO2 being released in the bottle will kill the flies.

Putting it in a sunny location seems to work the best as you will see in the video.  (It works almost too well…it’s gross!)

Do you have a better way to handle flies?  Please tell us about it!
