How to make a fly trap from a jar or bottle:
- Tape or glue paper to make an open cone, then fit the cone inside a plastic or glass jar or bottle.
- Seal around the opening of the bottle so there is no space between the cone and the bottle.
- Hang the bottle from string or wire, or attach it to a stick in the ground.
- 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.
- 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.
