How to make a homemade fly trap that works 

I used dry dog food with a little water & a squirt of blue Dawn dish detergent. This is basically the same way I've made fruit fly traps for years. Same process with the bottle but you don't need to tape it if the way you cut it gave you a clean seal. For the solution mixture to catch fruit flies it's 2 parts apple cider vinegar to 1 part water & a squirt of blue Dawn. Fill it up to JUST below the funnel. Works like a charm

Thanks a lot finally someone with a simple cheap house hold items that gets the job done! Plus did anyone notice he was direct to the point and not rambling on and on! Keep in mind that they do that on purpose to get u to watch there videos and have more commercials to get paid by RU-vid! So that's another huge reason I liked this video! Please if u notice a person that keeps talking and talking stop watching there videos and tell ur friends! Because I waste to much time just to find 1 video made simple and easy and have to watch 5 or 20 videos that r trash!!

To avoid the smell. Construct the trap the same way but instead of rotting meat fill 1/3 of bottle with 50% water and 50% apple cider vinegar. Couple tablespoons of sugar and some liquid dish soap. The flies will drown in the mix and will not create maggots.

Thank you for the great information. I agree with you about the flies waiting at any door and how they fly in as soon as a door is opened. I just hate that.

Thanks bud, good trap and simple quick to make with household stuff.

I'm here from Soup's channel. Good tutorial. 👍 Your views are about to skyrocket.

Thank you so much!! I have 3 flies that over stayed their visit..Working my last nerve..Totally going to make one now!! Thank you for the idea!

best diy fly trap video

👍👍👍very good video.

Put vasoline around the top and maggots won't get out.Thanks for info hello from Missouri

To the brother who lives in South America thank you for that beautiful introduction, speaking of the holy Bible, and most important youth hope to change of the men’s lives it’s about helping one another, and serving the Lord with all for it, or she any place anywhere discern the creator of the most HIGH!

Thank you, I'll be using this, South Dakota is out of Fly killing, or fly traps.... We are getting over 100 flys in each yard, and in houses. So this is very helpful!

Thank you so much for posting this video I’ve never had a problem with flies before . My house is always really clean especially the bathroom and kitchen and I woke up one morning and there’s a bunch of flies hang around the top of my bathroom reminded me of ammityville horror LOL I’m gonna try this today to take you very much for the tip I hope it works

Good tips. THanks

Thanks for the info brother. Gonna try it out today.

Right? They fly in as soon as you open the door but you leave every door and window open and they don't seem to find any exist! Thank you for the help definitely going to make one.

I live on a farm also I like the idea!! I use a cheap beach ball and paint it gloss black and hang out side in the horse barn after you paint it spray glue on it and it will catch yellow flys and black flys.

Thank you so much for the video and all the extra information very helpful

Great tips, thanks

I have tried this method , and it does really work, thanks

Good video very helpful.

Part fill it with water after assembly with bait. The flies drown, and no maggots.

Outstanding sir.

exatly what i was lookin for. especially the throw it to the chickens part! thx

thank you - these flies buzzing around me are getting on my nerves - I am gonna make one right now ;)

Thanks for the video :)

Thank you verry much old friend..tomorrow i'm going to try it 🙏

Thanks for the tip. Try to make.

Tried this all summer and it works.

This had helped me, thank you

I make traps this way except i fill them before i tape the tops on. Otherwise the flies can lick/eat what was dripped thru the top hole without going in.

great video! I am going to try it out. thank you

Thanks for sharing

Great videos

Great video seems like a good honest dude

goood info. Thanks for sharing.

Cool Trap

Fruit works great as bait. No stink, and no maggots lol.

👍🏾 I made a few more for bbq’N Thanks!

Awesome Tip Mate, gonna try this method and I hope it works..... Thanks for sharing ur idea...: Liked and Subscribed......

Good video

Thanks buddy as I live in the mountains of South America and I don't have screens on my windows and must open the doors and windows by 10:00 or 11:00 because the Sun makes it too hot in here and as you say even with screens they will sneak in. I was already using yogurt containers with little knife holes in the top and putting banana peel and other things to catch fruit flies but now you have given me your idea to catch the real badass flies that try to drive me crazy when I'm eating and I don't want a flying maggot crap eater landing on my food haha. One guy said raw eggs out in the sun but I like your ground meat idea better because I don't think the order will be as bad and I will do what I do with the fruit flies after three or four days I drown them by pouring water into the holes running it under the faucet Shake It Up and they all die. If there's maggots I'll pour them out and monkey Stomp Them. Then another guy had dishwashing detergent added to the solution so that way maybe it would keep the maggots down or I'll just drown them in 3 days and that should do it. God bless you brother and your whole family. Trust your creator to take you through these crazy times that we're in. I don't play churches brother because most of them are fake but I have studied the Bible for 40 years and I help young men get off drugs and I teach them the word and how to live a stand-up life so you just made a contribution to helping young men get their lives right. God bless you with the truth the life and the way and that's for everyone looking at the comments. We're fighting luciferian bankers and you can't fight Lucifer without Christ. Think about that. They admit Lucifer is their God and they even do child sacrifices plus drink the children's blood after they rape them so the adrenochrome is high. Sick really freaking sick people so grab on to your creator Jesus Christ and he will either take you through it or take you home. This life is but a breath and Eternity is a long time. Surrender to the Lord and you get free eternal life just come as you are don't pay any attention to churches or preachers that tell you you have to change this or that. Leave that up to God he will guide you. Bendiciones, blessings. From Craig in South America

Great idea on letting the chickens eat the maggots! Practical, inexpensive, and environmental.

Thank you it works

Thnx for da tip

Thank you!

Little tip on swatting flies - aim for their hind end. Flies take off in a backward direction.

this was helpful

maybe add liquid to the meat inside of the trap then the hatching maggots drown before they can climb out!

Thank you. Just subbed to your channel.

Congratulations

Thanks! Any ideas to make a trap that Works, but does NOT SMELL, for inside my kitchen? I ALso have a Huge Fruit Fly Swarm in my kitchen w the flies. After removing my fruits from the counters, I've made lots of Apple Cider Vinegar, Sugar w detergent traps. They seem to drive the swarms of FF to hang out near the traps, but dont go in??? Oh, does ACV liquid help catch the flies and drown the maggots?

This is so useful thx

I'd like to add a bit of info to this, if you don't mind. While this device works well to catch flies, as you mention, you have to remember that it is designed to attract flies. Which is why I'm guessing you've got flies coming in when you open your door. Particularly if it's placed near your door. I might suggest placing it further away from your door, if that's in deed where you're placing the fly trap. Also, if you got garbage cans near your door, as I do because it's the only place for us to put them, then that could be the main problem. There are other steps you can take to prevent them from being attracted to your garbage cans in the first place.

Great video it was a big help thank you from your brothers south of the border in México!!

THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! Cats & Dogs go in and out.....Flies Just Wait for that!!!!!

I caught over 30 files thank you so much

You might want to get a Ziploc bag with 4 Pennys and put a few inches of water in the bag with the pennies. The water refracts of the pennies making them look like 8 eyes. when the flies see it they stay away because it looks like spider eyes. Hang them in a couple areas around your windows and doors and the flies won't rush in. No joke!!! I've done it for years and the flies don't come in

Thanks....did not know of the maggot thing.

Your a nice looking man!!!

ok i just used another method to get rid of flies and small flies in my house. take a water spray bottle.. fill it with water and some dawn dish detergent. Just keep spraying the flies and small ones.. i killed 3 big flies.. they all slow down because they get wet, and there is also dawn dish detergent so that must slow them down also.. then i just get them with the wet kitchen cotton towel. I just kept at it, spraying all those flying ones, big ones. small ones on the wall.. etc. i killed so many. I got the big ones in mid air and as you spray them and keep spraying they will slow down.. they will land someplace and just get them. The small ones if they land on the wall or in mid air the same system.. keep spraying.. keep wacking with wet towel.. then after all that you can also add this trap. But spraying them worked so fast.

awesome

I will be trying that trap

Reminds me of gf dad haha hell yeah brother

It works great

Thanks for sharing this. I didn't think about the maggots problem. Maybe a few seconds in the microwave every day will kill the maggots as they hatch

I think my spiders will love their new food😁

Ngl thus is a good plan but mine didn’t work flys knew what was up lol

Having a lot of indoor plants is my house, I brought in one that had fruit flies. Within two weeks I had a fly infestation. I tried all different types of methods, it was too slow My solution was to place a small amount of pineapple juice in a small container, not covered. Iplaced it close to my plants were I saw a lot of flies. Within the hour each container had over 50 flies. Good luck with those pesty insects.

Came for the fly trap stayed for the tape fold over

EVERYONE ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT YA BOY TREY WILSON DAID. " you can catch flys with honey, but you can catch alot of hunnies being fly 😎..

Thank, every time well am at home fly are very disturbing plus hard to kill it when flies fly fast.

Try using raw sourdough as bait... The flies love it but lots less smell.

As you use the castings the bed will eventually go down. What do you use to refill the wicking bin?

If you spray the inside with cooking oil like Pam or something, will that keep the maggots from climbing up the sides?

i stay not far from a rooster yard in thailand and man the flys in the morning are unbearable i use same idea but shrimp paste as bait.. works a treat it stinks but its outside so bearable . cool bro

The flies like it door, lacquer is sweet also, n maybe our houses smell nice to them like poo and rotting flesh, lol. Have a great day , thanks

Thank you for the info on the maggots. maggots freak me out.

I don't do anything this elaborate. All I do is get a small bowl. Put 1/2 cup water in it. Then put 1-2 ounces of apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of sugar in it. Lastly, 1-2 drops of dish washing liquid. I then put the small bowl under a light in the kitchen. I catch each and every fly 100% of the time within 20 minutes. I use an old cottage cheese container with a lid. Once I catch the fly/flies, I fish them out, put the lid on the container and put it under my kitchen sink for later use. Why waste the ingredients?

It works with fruit flies, I use apple cider vinegar and a bit of detergent. I use a glass with a film of plastic wrapping paper, and make a slice in the center of the film, fries get in but won't go back.

Nice😏😏

Yay no more flies :D

Thank you think I will pass don’t want flies moving in I’ve given a like

Perfect idea, I’ve just tried it now, my cottage here just outside London is swarming right now with flies. Fingers crossed this will slow em down 👍

God bless everyone who sees this I hope you have a great rest of your day and a great day tomorrow bye. God is king and God loves you ❤️🙏🏽🤍🕊🤍

What about a little water to keep the maggots down in the bottle acouple of drop or teaspoon

That's why you use water and a couple drops of down and the flys drown .no magets.

One thing I've done, not having chickens, is pop it in the freezer just long enough to freeze them. It kills the maggots then I stuff a something in the hole so no new flies get in and toss it in my outside trash. I made the mistake of leaving them in the freezer too long and the smell is so powerful, it soaks into the walls of the freezer. Disgusting.

Put some water in it and the flies will drown and not hatch maggots. Just need to make the water smelly somehow. If the flies in there are dead and the meat decays and everything gets good and yucky you'll have a nice oozy mess that still drowns the flies. Once you're done with it, just call a hazmat team to dispose of it.

I've had good luck with red wine or vinegar and no maggots. I forgot to close a bottle of Irish whiskey one time and they seem very fond of it also.

I poke holes in the inverted part,it seems to attract the flies more.

Your supposed to fill it halfway with water and the meat or yeast works excellent also and you won’t get any maggots

Nice got hundreds

ILL MAKE ME ONE....

a glass coke bottle with small drink at the bottom works well.

What keeps them from getting back out?

Put a bit of rank organic matter in a 5 gallon bucket, with a mouse sticky trap/card (outside of course) and you'll have 50 flies stuck in no time.

Try using pancake syrup with a mashed up hotdog. Works well.

BBQ sauce work really well

Thank you
