How to GET RID OF FLIES! 🤯

I came across this recipe so I had to give it a shot! If flies are constantly bothering you try this! I’m still amazed how fast I started catching them!

1 cup of Sugar
1 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
A few squirts of dish soap
And a little bit of water

It works because the soap destroys the surface tension of the water. For tiny insects, the surface tension makes water like a big water bed - you can walk all over it but there is no way you can fall in or get wet. When flies, with their light, hairy bodies, try that on the sweet, tasty, but SOAPY liquid they fall straight in.

So i love that this guy shows the results, not just the recipe and claims it works. "This is living proof" is the only words he needed to say.

I make this, too, for gnat traps. I put them in small disposable cups on the patio and it works great!

So wait you actually catch more flies with vinegar and sugar than you do with honey? I feel lied to!

Thank you . The flies this summer are outrageous

Yes, it works....I've done it for years 😮
I put it outback on a table of my deck, about an hour or two before we go out and the flies by then don't bother us at our table.😊

I use a bottle of soapy water and spray them in the air when they get in the house. Much better than a fly swatter.

Wow...20 flies in 4 hrs. That's 5 flies an hour....1 fly every 12

No need for sugar. ACV water and a few drops of soap that foams on top. You have to stir it. I use this all the time I. Horsefly traps and glass jars all over my home. Works perfectly.

The smell of ACV attracts them and soap bubbles traps them. No need for sugar. Your ❤saying it it doesn’t need it.

OK, so for me here’s what works. I’ve done it for three years. I got it from some farm ladies on YouTube you take gallon water bottle you fill it 2/3 full of water you put something really stinky in the bottom of the water I use two cans of cheap tuna fish you put the lid on you poke a hole in one side hole in the opposite side and just poke your finger in so they can get in but can’t get outand more flies with that and then you just throw the bottle out and make sure they’re not where you want the flies to be gone. You put it away away from it. I have seven of them in my yard because we have a big yard and lots of flies.

I do just apple cidar vinegar and a little dish soap covered with plastic wrap...my grandma taught me it 20 plus years ago

Everytime the subscribe chime goes off my dog freaks out. It sounds like the low battery for smoke alarms. Great stuff and informational. Love it

This works for those pesky knats too, except you don't need a big bowl for them. I just use a small dish and leave it on the kitchen counter and it helps get them, especially if you have fruit sitting around which always draws them. Great tip. I never thought about using it to catch flies too. I've had some get into the house and couldn't figure out how they were getting in. So if I have that issue again, I'll definitely fix this up for them.

[lisathurston]

place small bowls by plants and your nats will go to it too

[lindaanders]

My husband and I always did this when we went camping and it always worked wonderfully and I never spend a lot of time outside without it. I always use a bottle.

[danaeagle]

What?!!!! I had no idea it would work for flies TOO! I have suffered of flies some summers. I have tried everything I could think of and THIS was the fix all along?! Maddening! Lol Thank you guy! I will do my gnat recipe but do it in a big bowl.

I just subscribed. Mainly cause he made me laugh with his laugh 😆

[.thomasalmeida]

I’m actually surprised you didn’t mix up this concoction over your kitchen stove 😅

[liveslisa]

Thanks for the recipe! Haven't seen that one for flies. I've been getting some flies on my patio and I have no idea why they are there. I just have flowers out there. Nothing that I think would draw flies. I'll give this a try.
