Diy Fly Catcher

A DIY fly catcher is a homemade trap that can be used to catch and kill flies. It is a simple and effective way to get rid of flies in your home or garden.

To make a DIY fly catcher, you will need:

• A plastic bottle (such as a soda bottle or water bottle)
• Scissors
• Tape
• Bait (such as sugar water, overripe fruit, or meat)
• Dish soap

Instructions:

1. Cut the top off of the plastic bottle.
2. Invert the top of the bottle and place it inside the bottom of the bottle, creating a funnel.
3. Tape the top of the bottle in place.
4. Add bait to the bottom of the bottle.
5. Add a few drops of dish soap to the bait.
6. Place the fly catcher in a location where flies are present.

The flies will be attracted to the bait and will enter the trap through the funnel. Once inside the trap, they will be unable to escape and will eventually drown in the bait.

Here are some tips for making a more effective DIY fly catcher:

• Use a sweet bait, such as sugar water or overripe fruit. Flies are attracted to sweet smells.
• Add a few drops of dish soap to the bait. This will break the surface tension of the liquid, making it easier for the flies to drown.
• Place the fly catcher in a location where flies are present, such as near a kitchen trash can or a compost pile.
• Empty and refill the fly catcher regularly.

DIY fly catchers are a safe and effective way to get rid of flies. They are also inexpensive and easy to make.
