My Dad has a few of these, very effective

My brother used to make flytraps similar to this and they worked really well.

whata brilliantand inexpensize idea, great for indoors and out doors, this weather flys are a pest and germ spreader. so cheap and simple but great idea thank you. my son as a child going through old photos and copingthem to computer

This is a great and cheap idea! I wonder if it works for fruit flies? Would be very handy to hang in fruit trees to stop them from destroying the fruit, rather than buying expensive traps.

I am trying this right now as I constantly have flies in my kitchen because my fly screen door fell off and because I have fish I don’t like using fly spray

I like the bottle method. We were recently inundated by fruit flies and I used apple cider vinegar to attract them. I have found a few regular flies there as well. For the fruit flies a little dish washing liquid helps break up the water tension and then they drown.

Great idea. Definitely going to give it a go

Great idea – thanks for the tip

I’ve tried a trap like this for mosquitos using yeast and water instead of fruit. The design really works, so I’ll change ‘bait’ and give this a whirl. I love chemical free remedies. Thanks.

Thanks Jessica – we have plenty of pesky little flies at the moment.

These kinds of traps work wonders for reducing fly numbers. I love the natural fly attractant too! Thanks.

  I am a fan of natural remedies for problems too.

What a great idea. We love outdoor entertaining but hate the flies and candles just don’t seem to work.

Thank you. I definitely need to try this. We have lots of flush around at the moment

Definitely need to be trying this… we have so many pesky flies at the moment. So so so very annoying.

Thanks for this idea. I don’t like using chemicals to get rid of pests. I’ll certainly be trying out this method.

We are definitely going to try this. They hang around at an exterior of our sliding door. As soon as we open it a fraction we are swamped by flies. I detest using another methods and not being successful anyway.

It looks fantastic! Thanks for sharing this useful tip!!

How simple! There will be a few of these around my entertaining area to keep those pesky flies away from us.

Great idea I will give it a go! thanks
