How to make a fly trap from a jar
or bottle – (1) Tape or glue paper to make an
open cone, then fit the cone inside a plastic or glass jar or bottle. (2) Seal
around the opening of the bottle so there is no space between the cone and the
bottle. (3) Hang the bottle from string or wire, or attach it to a stick in the
ground. (4) Put some sweet bait, like fruit or fish, just under the trap. Flies
will land on the food and then fly through the cone and into the bottle. (5) To
empty the trap, turn it mouth up, remove the cone, fill with water to make sure
the flies are dead, and then empty it into a toilet or compost pile. To reduce
flies, hang this trap near toilets and places where food is prepared.
