Thank you! My next step was to burn the house down! Fruit flies are making me crazy!
😂😂
I sprayed some essential oils & it worked. Either wipe or spray around where they are I mixed oregano oil, peppermint oil, clove oil, eucalyptus oil etc. Any strong smelling authentic essential oils will do. Worked for me
@@akakonoha excellent, thanks for the idea!! 👌
@@GirlMomma You're most welcome. Sorry I meant spray. I also mix some with water in a bowl & leave it near the area
@@akakonoha awesome! That sounds easy enough and my house will smell great at the same time! 👏🥰
Flies dumb as hell, how you not see ya homie trapped in there?
Rex Monte dis made me laugh 😂 thanks bro
Ik😂😂
Squirrels also will come eat out of your compost next to their homie’s dead body if you dome one w a pellet gun and leave it there for a bit
😂😂😂
I know! They are breaking social distancing rules!
I made the fly trap. Nothing the first day, then OMG! I had dozens! No more flies buzzing around my basement sewing room! Thank you!
God bless you. I'm 61 years old and has never seen such great gardening tips. I am excited to get going on my garden.
Hi Gracie
I'm 55 soon, but I didn't know Jesus as my Saviour until 2005.
Praise the Lord 🙏
@@JontheBerean true that
@Ward Luay
There are many gods and many lies in this world.
Jesus is the King of Heaven and God is His Father.
The Holy Spirit is truth, the God of Creation is Father and Son.
Deny the cross at your peril.
I did for 40 years, so glad that I am born again in Jesus name.
I hope one day you are too.
For the entire fullness of God’s nature dwells bodily in Christ, and you have been filled by Him, who is the head over every ruler and authority.
Colossians 2:9-10 HCSB
bible.com/bible/72/col.2.9-10.HCSB
Jesus was not just a man.
Long ago God spoke to the fathers by the prophets at different times and in different ways. In these last days, He has spoken to us by His Son. God has appointed Him heir of all things and made the universe through Him. The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact expression of His nature, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After making purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high.
Hebrews 1:1-3 HCSB

@Ward Luay
Jesus prophesied His own death by crucifixion and resurrection three days later. As foretold by several prophets hundreds of years before.
The coming man of lawlessness , the Antichrist, will draw many to believe that all religions worship the One God, but the god of this world is satan (read 2 Corinthians 4 v 4).
The Jesus of the Qur'an is a false Christ.
Without faith in the ✝️ , no one will earn their way to eternal life.
A false prophet will point to the Antichrist and call him Saviour. I pray that you will remember this, please trust in the Lamb of God, His precious blood alone can wash away sins.
May His peace be yours before you die. ♥️🙏
Thanks for getting right to it! Too many videos give unnecessary info about different types opf flies. No one cares about this type of fly versus that... we just want to get rid of them! Thanks again :)
So true, this was most helpful & appreciated.
I have a house fly problem did this and caught 2 already! Thank you so much!
Bro, you changed my life. I got all these plastic bottles, and I was using a cup, making a funnel from paper. This is so simple.
I will try the vinegar trap. I have caught fruit flies in a saucer with a quarter cup vinegar and a couple drops dish soap to break the surface tension. Works every time. My problem is regular black flies. Thanks for the info.
It always amazes me that other videos on this subject say nothing about the sugar; That is so important.
Yes I didn't know about the sugar either. Good deal.
Okay so I was initially highly pessimistic about this whole trap, but let me tell you it works, I made it at around 5 pm yesterday and had zero flies in it the next morning, now when I’m back from work there are roughly 10 flies in it. And I’m so happy 😭 they’d been a pest for the past 1 week. So it worked for me in about 20 hours. I hope it works for others too
which trap did you use>
@@Brandon_Y.
Probably the first one because he said flies were the problem. He didn’t mention fruit flies.
I bought plastic jars from amazon and drilled small holes at the top of the lid and did the same with apple cider vinegar and soap only. Already caught 4 fruit flies in my kitchen and flies in my bathroom. Works like a charm! I'll have to try the yeast one soon.
I’m interested in knowing if the yeast one works or not. Let us know when you try it! Smart move on the plastic jars and small holes 😊👌🏾
Hi did you add water
Thanks for posting. The vinegar fly trap worked really well. Stay safe best wishes from Dublin, Ireland xo
Good job bro thank you.
Thanks alot my friend was really looking for a trap for fruit files and your idea send to make a lot sense
Can't wait to try it out in my basement
Thanks straight to the point. No waste of time 👍
I very much 💯 agree
I just tried this and I have high hopes, they've been driving me crazy. Thank you for making this video.
This trap worked really well! There were so many little bugs in my trap I could barely count them. 😂
Yes, I found this video informing.
Had a small fruit fly problem at home and tried the first trap: immediate results! This really works, I made one with a plastic bottle as instructed and another using a bowl and some saran wrap, both worked quite well (but the bottle was better I think)!! Also big plus it doesn't smell at all!! Thank you so much :)
Hi Jag , great idea to get rid of the flies, will try it and see if it works. Thank you, God bless you 🙏
Short and sweet! Thanks for the great info brother!
Informative and straight to the point, as usual. Thank you!
Great information. I will use both of these ideas. The fly trap would be great outside by my hens in the summer. Thank you 😃
Use a 1l bottle catch more :)
Or bigger
So easy to make and worked great ! Fruit flies almost all gone just overnight. Thank you !!!
Glad it helped!
It really works with fly trap! Thank you sir!!
Great video, concise and easy to replicate.
Thanks so much!
Short and informative. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for this video. I can't wait to try this out. I'm so frustrated of the flies roaming in my kitchen while I'm cooking. Annoying.
Thanks again. 🎉
Thankyou so much! You are such an AMAZING Gardner and youtuber! Keep up the great work, wish you the best!🌷😻
This definitely works . I added vinegar , sugar and a small chunk of raw sausage .. I got two flies in my backyard right away . Thanks again
Should i dilute ACV with water?
@@midnight_bee no you shouldn’t have to do that
Ew meat..sorry to me this.that's like road kill and attracts them. that's like attracting to kill defeats purpose. Im in rural county and roadkill and cow poop brings them both flats n nats same
Thanks for keeping the steps straight to the point and easy to follow!
very helpful video.short and precise straight to the point.thank you
Nice show my friend!! I make traps similar to yours,for bait I use beer that I leave open for several hours and put it to good use in my traps they come in,buzz around for awhile and drown in the beer so it's a happy ending for them!!
For the fruit fly or house fly?
If you use beer it will catch hornets, yellow jackets, house flies and fruit flies
Dude, you're a life saver. We spend a lot of money on fly traps as the last few years, South Louisiana has been over run. We just added chickens and lord, I thought the flies were bad...
I hate wasting plastic bottles and been looking for a second use. Perfect. I heard beer is good for homemade fly traps as well.
Yes, I never drank mine fast enough and had a fly in it. What a waste of beer, though
@@ingridferg9779
no waste...pure alcohol abuse...😮
mj
I quickly made the first trap and its already working!!! Thanks!!!
Actually how long it took for the flies to get trapped??
Yeah, how long before? I did 2 traps w the 1st one and nothing!!😟
I double everything and probably within the hour.. I had it outside
Thank you. Going to give this a try.
Thank you so much for sharing!!!
Thank you again, trap for me worked like a charm (i used apple vinegar instead of white vinegar).
About to try out both methods! Thank you got this helpful video 😊
How’d it go?
Wine with some dish soap works too. Flies like fermentation, so wine (cooking wine is fine) draws them. The soap kills them even if they aren’t trapped.
Won't that attract ants
Why waste (good) wine 🍷
@@pandogstudios1512 killing flys is putting wine to better use. I hate pesky flys!
@@pandogstudios1512
If you have a serious fly problem, there's no better way to use wine.
I've been battling for over a week and I'm ready to burn my house down.
@@pandogstudios1512 cooking wine
Thank you for making this.
Just tried the first trick, killed 5 flies in 2 hours! It totally worked!
Which one did you use?
@@midnight121190 probably the 3rd one
Fly vinegar, two spoonfull sugar, one drop liquid siap.
Fruit fly active dry, 4 spion sugar.
Why venigar n sope ???
@@radhamaharjan7001 It breaks the surface tension of the liquid
Hailee Moore what about the spion and the liquid siap
Thank you so much for this!
Did this, and it worked like a dream!!! Came back because I forgot how to do it 😅
I make my ff trap the same way except i tape the 2 plastic pieces together. And best bait for ff's is ACV (apple cider vinegar) with one drop of dish soap. The drop of soap breaks the water retention so they drown faster and have less of a chance to float ontop and climb out.
Do you use sugar?
@@william999666 nope, no need. Apple cider vinegar and dish soap. Some swear by wine with a drop of dish soap but i dont drink so ive never had it to try.
I used Apple cider vinegar, sugar, water, and a dash of dish soap. It actually works very well.
What does the dish soap do
kills them bad boys
@@tb9489 I guess make the liquid thicker so flies would have a hard time escaping
what type of measurements did you use?
@@Emilyfosterf1 Equal amounts apple cider vinegar and water...didnt measure sugar...just poured some in...just a squirt dish soap.
Great tips! Thank you for this informative video!
I trusted my flies issue to Zero Flies, and whoever is dealing with insects, I strongly recommend checking them! Great products at affordable prices that really do the job!
agree! I had their zapzone max and it's pretty cool!
Wow interesting 👍! Thanks for sharing 🌷！Looks very simple, I dislike flies, I’ll definitely try it, hope it’ll truly work for me.
Fly Trap Summary
- Cut bottle in half for trap
- 5% vinegar half a cup to bottle
- 2 tbsp sugar
- 1 tbsp dish soap
- stir and pour in bottle
I think it is cut top off bottle to make a funnel, not half. 1/2 cup water, 1/2 cup 5% vinegar, and 2 tbsp sugar. This made enough for two traps for me but I don't think he uses a full 1/2 cup of water or vinegar. Also 1tsp of soap is WAY WAY too much. I guess it depends on the strength and scent of the soap because I didn't catch many flies with as much as it called for, either it smelled too strong or was itself too strong. I caught a ton more the second batch with just two drops of dish soap.
bucket traveler I agree, I didn’t catch but one in 24 hours because I think it was too much
LOL...you left out the water.
bucket traveler Wouldn’t the fly trap actually attract more flies to your location? So even when a bunch of them die in the trap, there are a couple of more flying around?
THIS ATTRACTS FLIES! DON'T LEAVE IN THE HOUSE! YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
"And here's a fruit fly here that just laid eggs... And just walked away" 😂😂
Lol ya because it was an aphid.
fruit flies are notorious as the "dead beat moms" of the insect community, you know.
00000lp
@@Glassandcandy Lol.
I know to lazy to remove maybe he figure the catipillar or cricket that ate the leaf would it it😂
Thanks. Much appreciated. 👍
Using the fly trap today! 🤞🏻
For some reason this year has been crazy with flies getting into my house it’s making me nuts, I hope these traps work !
Thought it was just me!!
My house is FULL of Flys this year and it's horrible!!
How was it now?
Same here! How weird!
They work more affective when in the sun because the flies cannot see the bottle the sun reflects into the bottle
I made one and put it on the window sills of the window they go to most (the brightest) we will see! I’m tired of my husband spraying bug spray inside the house at them!
I know well now that it is winter the flies will be in there house they don’t like the cold
Kosta Leotta not here.... it’s HOT and they keep coming in the house 😭😭😭
I am in Michigan
Oh I guess ur unlike I hate when they come inside the house I cut up a pineapple yesterday and the flys came in every were also I live in Australia 🇦🇺 QLD
EDITED ,works great .you are right, thank you...plus apple cider vinegar mixed with dish soap in flat dish works great also.
Please wait for 1 week and then check
I just watched another video with a setup similar to this but involved using raw meats to draw them in. But sugar and vinegar sounds like it won't be a double-edge sword.
Raw meat attracts horse flies or wasps and other flying bloodsuckers.
@@hrevyaga82 what about bees? I wouldn't want to kill them.
@@christopherjeffrey6730 bees are not carnivorous they are atracted to flowers
They'll surely attract ants though
U don't need road kill yuk just lil sugar apple vinegar some water n dawn
I hope this works! I have no idea why we have so many flies, it’s so annoying!
Nice work Jag.
I used apple cider vinegar and orange juice and dish liquid and it worked well too.
Fly Trap Recipe:
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup 5% acidity vinegear
2 tablespoons of sugar
1 tablespoon of liquid dish soap
Thank you!!! I've been looking for a good fly trap. I think they're worse this year than in a long time. I'm going to make some for outside and inside too.
Stanky apple cider vinegar
I tried the fly trap. It took some time but finally had one fly in the bottle. Later I checked to see how many more I trapped, the one fly that I caught was gone.
Which one did you try?
I will try it ... thank you
Awesome tip sir going to do this great idea of yours
Hi. The traps look like they will work well. Just FYI though, the first fly you showed when talking about common flies is actually a long-legged fly (Family: Dolichopodidae) and the insect you show when talking about fruit flies is actually a winged aphid, not a fly.
It’s a bug. Thats what it is
It's a fly to use normies , move along
Buddy settle down with your nerdyness
@@davidkattan1275 No need to be rude because someone is smarter than you
@@craigcervo4384 Why? Nerds are awesome!!
that "fruit fly" that laid eggs actually looks like an aphid thats secreting honeydoo
more like honeydoodoo haha :D
Works great! Thank you 😊
This is very helpful! you are amazing!
Day 4: Still no flies caught in any of the 3 traps I made.
These designs are effective.have used them over the years for flies and yellow jackets.flies in particular have an odd trait that may be interfering.they are attracted to light,in a visual sense.if there's a dark part of the trap in an odd area like the funnel,they may just not be able to get into it.try setting them in different lighting and see and also some traps like this work better upside down,with the funnel on bottom.obvious adjustments would need to be made.but mostly if the trap isn't catching flies,it's your bait.the trap design is a proven working concept,we know it works,so the only variables is how and where trap is deployed and bait used.the vinegar thing is not my first choice.course I mostly deal with house flies and biting flies.we used a more simple and direct approach. A little dog scat in water and just a drop of dawn dish soap.dont need more than that,it's there mainly to disrupt the surface tension of the water allowing the flies to drown.and bugs can detect and be repelled by dish soap.so try just a drop.i don't suggest using the bait we did.it was simply both available at the time, and effective.any food may work,meat in particular, and adding yeast may actually kick off a fermentation, which will help.im not exactly sure how,just an observation from one of the first we made from 5 gallon carboys.one naturally started fermenting and it got loaded with flies that year.but this is one of those things where you got to experiment, and through observation, determine what's most effective in your situation.
@@RichardPeterson-uz1xzgod damn bro
I had the same problem then I use apple cider vinegar it was a game-changer
It worked for me!
@@RichardPeterson-uz1xzthis is how passionate i am about killing these flying fuckers
Followed directions for the fly trap and nothing happened. Wondering what I did wrong since it seems to work for others. Thanks
It's possible you're encountering a type of fly that is not attracted to that bait.
Did u use Apple vinegar? I been with pestering nats/fruit flies inside and about 5min after I got that darn nagging pest..
My mix* added 3spoons sugar cup or so water good dash apple vinegar about 4/5 spoons few drops dawn ina mason jar
Hope this helps
Your not alone. Ddnt work for me either
thank you so much very good short instructions always enjoy your videos
I just want to thank you since many of the flies finally are now in the bottle and deceased! It took a few days but your method worked in the bathroom. Now I have to do the same in the kitchen since the disgusting little creeps split up and took over two rooms making life miserable for almost 5 days (they got into the house through a space between a window and the screen. I still have one in my bedroom that attacks and a few in the kitchen. They're very nasty but things are getting better. It really works! N
very simple and cheaper way to killing flies. i watched another video that suggested us to use shrimps and syrup.
Hello I have flies in my kitchen did your treatment work
@@yolandabattle5770 lol it didnt work. it has been 24 hours already, and i still havent seen any flies in the bottle.
@@peng8151 dang ok thanks!!
I’ve swatted 40+ flies today and decided enough is enough… giving the first trap a try I’ll give results in a few days.
UPDATE: it did not work! Followed instructions exactly, 4 days no flies.
How is it?
I tried this for 12 h and 0 flies trapped .Next!!!
So?

Same here. I have a basement apt an almost every year in the summer we have a fly problem. Last year for some reason wasnt too bad but this year is a different story!
Nice tips..
Do you have any videos to get rid of mealy bugs on plants.. my roses and jasmines died recently cause of that.:(
Get some lady bugs and/or lacewings from a hardware store and put on you jasmine and roses. Lady bugs and lacewings will eat mealy bugs.
Daisy Creek Farms with Jag Singh Thank you.
THANK U these fly keep interupting me in class
Straight to the point! 👍🏻
I live in Florida and this year has been horrible with flies getting inside the house
Last summer I found a massive fly in my room. I got it out but by then it'd already laid its eggs. we spent half the summer with flies all over our house. I found another a year later and don't wanna deal with it ever again. I'm hopping that this'll work. tell you the results in a few daises.
Did it work for you?
For the people in the comments saying it doesn’t work, it does! The best solution would be raw meat though & you have to wait a MINUTE
Someone said use eggs and water
Shaleeka Johnson whoever said that is a lie. the best thing that works is raw meat.
Ewwww meat. U might as well drag the roadkill up from off the street and bring it up in the house cuz that's what is drawin the flies an the nats all the nasties.
Water sugar apple cider vinegar and some dish soap
@@cj-zn9lg like i said, raw meat work. cause it worked for me, i have nothing more to say 😌
Good idea Jack ❣️
Great video, short and informative. 👌👌👌👌👌👌Thank you
I tried the first trap type. 2 days and no flies yet both outside and inside. Any tips?
Use the yeast method, i got more flies catched on it.
Will Apple cider vinegar work as well? Does anything here trap mosquitos also
Does it work?

Have flies in my kitchen since a party last weekend with people going in and out. I made this exactly as instructed and it sat for days without catching even one fly so I am off to look for another remedy.
Thank you so much for the information
Hello, this formula for flies did not work for me. Did i do something wrong?
Didn't work for me either
Try apple cider vinegar and a little dish soap in a bowl and then put Saran wrap tightly over the bowl and poke holes in the wrap with a fork, let it sit. This 100% works. I use it all summer long.
