Making the best DIY fly trap, with the ultimate fly bait 

Holy crap brother, I built a bottle trap to your specifications yesterday late afternoon. Put it in some shade around my house where flies like to accumulate and a few hours later the trap was loaded with flies in the solution and in the bottle waiting to fall into the solution. I like the commenters thought about using a little tiny bit of non aromatic soap. What I mean by that is soap with no smell. Great idea. Then they don't float so well and become part of the primordial ooze of the trap. Hats off to you my brother great idea revolutionary. It would take a poultry farmer like you to come up with this brilliant idea. I had a couple of rotten eggs that were at the perfect aromatic flavor. Before I could even put the rotten eggs in the trap I was being attacked by flies that absolutely loved the smell of these rotten eggs. Mission accomplished huge success thank you for this brilliant information. I'm 65 and I learn something new everyday.

If you put a little dishwashing liquid in there, once they touch the bait, they can’t fly away. 😎😎😎 Thanks for the video!!

I know this is an old video but I just wanted to say thank you! Your solution has worked wonders. We are plagued every year because we live behind a bin store from a small block of flats. Environmental health are involved and we’ve had more success with this than anything they’ve done or suggested! Cheers!

Been making these for years...Truly work...For fruit flies make a smaller hole & add apple cider vinegar & mandarin oranges. They can’t resist...

Floy traps. Cheekens. Bag full of floies. Love your accent. I'm gonna start talking like that. Gonna teach my cat to talk like that too.

I'm going to use your vid to set this up now, as I made a maggot trap to free feed my chickens and I think I've put it too close to the caravan (they free range at the moment) and now we're absolutely infested with house flies, thought it was the heat wave. Haven't told my partner it could be my maggot trap yet, oh the irony! Thank you, you've probably saved my life. 😆

Simple and efficient. Brilliant. Thanks for sharing

Love to see that week old bait in the store and homemade trap. Your old bait vs. the store bait that's just made and takes 24 hrs to begin being effective just like your's is no competition. No matter the traps

You Sir Are A Life Saver. Thank You From A Tennessee Small Farmer. My bait is apple juice, sugar, and apple cider vinegar. Will throw in broken eggs when we have them but the ones without are working great. THANKS AGAIN!!!!!!!!

I’m not sure how this video doesn’t have millions of views already. Thanks 🙏🏾

That bottle would have Saved Walter White and Jesse a lot of time.

This worked incredibly, GREAT IDEA MAN.

Excellent video...I just picked up some store bought traps before I seen your video. Looked at the ingredients: powdered egg soilds. Lol good work

Thank you for the advice.. plan on making a few of these now

Finally one that works! Thank you so much✨

Thank you for this easy to follow and effective information

Wow great idea! Love that it’s recycling and you just saved us money!

Thank you from South Africa

The flies really just liked your egg mix better than the pre packed one. Nice tip with the eggs they obviously liked that one a lot! 👍🏻

Great vid. Will make one later today. Also your method is a lot easier and cleaner, than cutting the bottle up completely.

Thank you for your dyi fly trap i will surely try it out. Cheers

Hi, followed your guide, and got amazing results, I didn't have a vat of rotting eggs to hand! So got 6 eggs and half ltr of water waited 3 weeks for the mixture to "mature" and wow hundreds of fly's, thanks for the video.

Thank you for this! (It also confirmed my design idea is valid as a basic DIY trap)

Hey just a quick tip. Don't make holes on the top. Make the holes a third from the bottom. Use clear one gallon jag. If you do it my way flies will not be able to escape back out. Because once they get in they have instinct to fly upwards so make holes inch or so above waterline. Also do not use tab water because it contains chlorine and it will take a lot longer to start the decomposition process of bait. Used natural spring water for faster results.

Iron Brew!!!!!, haven’t had Iron Brew since I was in Scotland. Man, wish we had it in the states! Great vid man!

Hey man I appreciate your videos I like your depth and I really like your overall understanding and your way of keeping it simple

Omg I found this just in time!! I was ready for the Looney bin trying to deal with these flies!! Ty sooo much!!

Hey Great Video!! Thanks I'm trying it !!

Ill for sure be using this next summer. Thanks!

Ingenius! Going to try this in the cow barn. Thanks for posting ;)

I did the bottle trap 2 days ago, right now there's about 50 flies and a massive slug in it. As bait I used an egg and some wet cat food, they go nuts for that.

Thanks! From California! I ah e bought traps from feed store but I would rather reuse and save some cash. Thanks again🙏

You Sr. Are a genius 👌

Thanks for the video, am goin to try this now.

You are truly amazing!!!!!!, Thanks you Problem solved!!!! 💯💯

Thanks! That's an ingenious idea to me. I would have bought the bait trap. Not anymore!! Thanks for the comparison! Nice video!

Awesome job very informative

overwhelming success man! I needed this today. I tried chickens, but just can't do them. I am raising Tilapia fish. Someday I'll trade my fish for some ones chickens someday. either way I have problems with flies due to owning pets, and being here and probably forgetting to take the trash all the way to the curb or a day or two late. thanks mate!

Thank you so very much that looks wonderful and easy to make, I plan to make some myself

Genius! Thanks mate!

Finally something that works 😂 THANK YOU!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Brilliant video. I'm going to make several of these traps this coming summer here in Australia we get a thousand of the little bastards thru drive me nuts! Genuis trap

Fantastic video, can't stand buying fly traps for so much money! Making several today: black fly season in America is in full bloom right now

Mate, thank you for this. I'm dishomed and the flies are misery. The best bait I've done so far is vinegar and egg shells. It makes CO2 which they're attracted to. I'm not sure if there's more to it than just the CO2 but it works swimmingly!

Holly crap, you have my vote and a BIG thumbs up thank you for your time friend!

Flies love rotten eggs, perfect! Great homemade fly bait attractant solution

Works great! Thanks!

i put two eggs + some water into a plastic bottle with an x cut as you suggested. A few weeks later it's completely filled with flies. Thanks!

The fly traps that you buy work wonderful for me! Within a day or 2 it's so full it's busting at the seams! Lol and yes I have over 50 chickens, so we have lots of flys! Lol

Thank you so much for sharing ,I will give it a try.

big companies not getting my money😂😂😂

thanx mate will try is looks like a life saver ;)

Thank you, I got chickens & I got used eggs. Good as done.

So easy, so good thanks friend

Chickens say they are a nuisance to them too. 😂

Thanks for mate for video them flies now here in my field are driving me nuts hope it helps with Horse flies too. Cheers for that

I put one egg, 1/2 cup water with a few tablespoons of some rancid bacon grease and a few pieces of dry dog food, mixed together spread over 4 traps, didn't even wait for eggs to start stinking, they love it, and so do I...

Sounds like Korg from 'Thor: Ragnarok.' I love it!

Very useful idea here sir great sharing

His a crack up how he explains love it

TY U saved me time & money

@3:00 it was a bad idea to watch this right after eating. LOL 😂

So here's the thing: the fly trap bait is basically yeast and sugar, once you hydrate it, the fermentation process begins but takes a few days to really get stinking, that's why his home-made bait out-performed his already-stinking bait. So yes, you can make an effective solution with vinegar, sugar and some water....they also say to add a bit of dish soap (not sure why). If you really want to kick it up, add some yeast or whatever else stinks or is rotting. Think about it, flies mostly land on fecal matter so there ya go

Irn Bru!! I love that fizzy orange banana cream soda bubble gum quinine nectar!! Not so easy to get here in the U.S., but well worth the trouble. Good video, mate. Cheers!

My son left a few trash bags on our back porch because he forgot to take them to the curb. Now we have an awful amount of flies. I'm going to try this.

WOW!!thanks,,I won't buy that store bought trap.Excellent success on your video and your diy fly trap.🔥

Excellent thanks

I'm trying this. I made one where you cut the top off but I didn't do it right. This one is going to work, I can tell.

Bravo 👏🏾 ol chap

Nice advise!

Thanks from texas 🤠

Flies seem to love my red wine and beer. I may use that for bait

Yes! Ty for this 🙂

Thank- you!!!!

This bait is also great for spray flowers to keep deer off. I am going to try putting a cracked egg and water directly into a bottle and put it in the sun and see how it works because I can’t tolerate having a whole thing brewing like that on my property

Thanks for the info

Something you said before ending , feeding the Flys to chickens I'd think another positive is your bait is organic no poisonous chemical so safe for flies to eat. Thanks for the information. I'm making some right now . A lot of flies because of dogs However I'm researching becauee I plan on doing backyard chickens and maybe a couple Nigerian dwarf goats , small homestead. Everybody talks about flies I've planted some insect repellent plants to put by the coop when I'm ready hopefully these will all work well

Tuna also works very well after a couple of days those bottles will be full

I will try these one. I've got some pretty annoying flies in my backyard cause I've got pets. Hope it works in me.

OMG i love your accent! you sound like a real fancy pants!

Thank you!

So simple with max results

That's a great idea. However, I don't think the smell of eggs sitting in water rotting and percolating all day under a hot sun is something I want in my kitchen. Call me crazy 😜 the hot sun all day to go rotten and percolate

Thanks,i have got a real invasion in my house,we have these trasch cans,and they come and get them every 2 !!! weeks,in my country.Thats the reason!Gonna make a few traps this evening.

Did the top cut water bottle with a new egg and vinegar, water and plastic wrap on top with a hole cut near the opening of the reversed water bottle opening and got small flies within hours. I have a small fly issue in my apartment atm and I'm using 3 of these now to try and gather them.

Great ideas!, I must ask ,who are the people that thumbs-down great videos like this?! I have seen thumbs-down to adorable baby animal videos! Do some people just do that automatically without even watching the video?🧐

I’m off to buy my nectar and 6 eggs 👌 brilliant video 👌

Awesome !!!

Excellent mate...

Bless you

Yes! Exactly the type of genius I needed. Thank you good sir! Keep doin the Lord's word!

I’ll try this!

Try it they work great

GENIUS

Awesome

Thank you

Thank you for the information. I will make this fly trap, I don’t need LUCK because I know it’s going to work.😊😊😊

I thought it was a game of "guess how many flies in the bottle" to win that Porsche lol

Thanks for the video. I'm looking for something indoors. I'm going to experiment with apple cider vinegar and some soap

Thanks man
