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

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.

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

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.

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.

We live on a 70 acre farm so there is no shortage of flies. We mostly see them around the kitchen area no where near a door. Our trash is also in the kitchen area but your ideas are good ones. I’ve seen people around here hang bags of water in front of their doors to keep flies out not sure if that works but they think so. Thanks for commenting and watching.

best diy fly trap video

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

You might want to get a Ziploc bag with 4 Pennys and put a few inches of water in the bag with the pennies.

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

To keep the flies from coming in your door, hang bag of water with pennies over the door outside. I tried it years ago, at deer camp, and it didn't work at all.

They are drawn to light too so I have a bug Led porch light as well. I also bought a mosquito plant for the patio.....so far not seen much flies or any mosquitoes but the summer is young yet.

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.

To stop maggots from crawling out, tape the top half a little above the bottom half, leaving a quarter inch or so a gap so that you have exposed tape on the inside and the maggots will stick to it; duct tape works well

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.
