- Easy to make traps catch hundreds of flies in a matter of days. Make your own traps in a few minutes using a jar or plastic bottle, a piece of black plastic, a piece of string and bait, such as raw fish or mince in water.
Flies are positively phototropic, which means they are attracted to the light. We can use their predisposition as a weapon against them when we make the traps.
Erm, I don't even have a fly problem. Why the fuck am I watching this at 3am? Wtf am I doing with my life?
Lol
its ok maybe in the future u do ;)
***** the sad thing? I'm kinda hoping I do just to try this :-/
well im having this issue with smaller flies in my kitchen. I just lost the appetite of nice food :l thoguht of doing this but it loks so worked up im too lazy on a weekend
Lol
I SWEAR IF I HEAR ANOTHER BUZZ IM GONNA GO CRAZY. IVE BEEN KILLING FLYS FOR THE LAST HOUR😒😭😭😭
U r not alone ma friend
*Buzzzzzz*
I knowwww😭😭
Me too I hate fuking Flies
Same here
I made a similar trap and it works lovely! I used a mason jar. I took the center round part from the lid and just used the ring. Instead of plastic I had some scrap mesh screen laying around so I cut a piece large enough to cover and still screw on the metal ring. I poked holes about the same size as yours. Mine are loaded with apple cider vinegar, sugar and a little bit of soap (breaks water tension so they could drown if they touch it). Thank you for sharing the tarp tip over the top for shadowing it really makes a difference!
Top notch advice. Fly traps do not have to be very sophisticated to work. I have used these types of traps for years and they work very well. I place them all about the property in the shade and tend them regularly. I must add, the deceased flies make excellent fertilizer. I bury a wad of them at the base of my fruit trees every time a bottle fills up. My house, fortunately, is fly free all summer.
Polypropellor Thank-you for sharing that advice!
hey so for some reason ifind 20-30 little baby flies appearing in my room i even taped off my room windows and sealed the door while theres food sources outside and downstairs they alway come to my room:( i kill each and every one of them how can i stop this? its got to the point where dis became very frustrating i dont even want to see those ugly things yet i wake up to find 5-6swarming my room and i keep killing them during the day even when i go to sleep i feel like they are still here watefuk? stay away/idiots , i have a chiken stall near my house its from my neighbours and trashcans infront of my window wich is 24/7 sealed
+JOJO - 420 just imageine me opening a window or door my god fucking pests god bless the winter !!!
+JOJO - 420 Indoor fly problem...here is a nice little trick. It requires a 20 oz palstic drink cup, a sticky trap (I use scorpion traps, they are the most sticky) and some fish based cat food. Do not bother with the little fly traps that come in the tube...they are useless!
Take about 1/2 tea spoon full of the cat food and put it in the bottom of the cup, add about two tablespoons of water...not enough to cover the cat food but enough to keep it moist...now, gently bend the scorpion trap - Careful! You might get stuck...hold it by the edges! Place the folded trap into the mouth of the cup so it resembles an upside down letter "U"...make sure the sticky side is out and well above the rim of the cup..don't place it near window curtains that might get stcuk, on it...and don't do this near pets...they will get stuck 'cause they like cat food, too!!!. Now, place this cup near a light source, like your window. At first it will give off a smell you might notice, but that will go away in a few minutes. Don't let the food dry out...add a little water every day.
The strategy is this...the flies love fish smell...they can detect it a thousand times better than humans. They will, of course,go to the source. But, flies are careful, they like to scout their food source first, so they land on something near by...in this case, the perch that is best is right over the food...Bam! Fly lands on the sticky trap and it's over for him/her!...next thing you know, all the fles are stuck...no more flies bothering you> When the food dries up, refill, add a little bait a little water and keep going ...if the sticky trap gets dusty or full of flies, simply toss it and put in a new one. Game over, Baby!
+JOJO - 420 If you sue my outdoor fly traps, you will pretty much have a more pleasant summer. The idea si, give the flies a much more interesting food source than that which they might find inside your home.
There is a down side to my traps...after the flies get trapped in them, they begin to rot and the smell can be quite...well, down right disgusting within about ten feet of the traps. But, flies go nuts over it and they will come to that source first above all others rather than your front or back door. But, do not expect to serve drinks and sandwiches within ten feet of these things....Yuk! Ick!
What are you....Lord of the Flies?
:DD
that's a good book
hhds113 lol
more like a mild mannered satan of flies... or Lord of the Flies w/o the pig head.... hehe
hhds113 I
she got a soothing voice if only she’s not talking about fly trap she would almost sound like it’s a meditation video
Love your reply about her voice. Laughing big time!! That's great
Does this make anyone elses skin crawl just seeing that many in there squirming?
Yes, but Blessed are The Flies for They Shall be Slaughtered.
This reminds me of the time my dad found me passed out drunk outside on the porch covered in ants and flies....he thought i was dead
spoiler: you are. welcome to hell bitch
Frogspawn_Johnson damn
So ...was you dead?
@@HeavenTheWorld70hjs ya 😢
Brilliant trap, simple to make, cheap to use & actually works. Thanks for sharing.
Friend Claire,
this is a great idea, I shall try it.
Blessin gs,
pierre from New Mexico
👍Awesome. I’ll try it. Thanks for sharing. 💞
so will this attract more flies to come and see what all the hubub is about and just turn to a never ending battle, or does it actually decrease the number of flies in the area? Thanks, Mike
CoconutsHD should reduce the numbers of flies in the area because it’ll only attract those close enough to sense it, and the ones trapped then can’t breed. Plus decreasing by just one fly earlier in the season will decrease many flies over time!
What's more likely is you're now breeding flies. You're creating a perfect environment for them to live and thrive (which is what draws them there anyway). Once they get in there, they start to multiply. So while I'm sure you're catching plenty of flies, you're also breeding them like crazy. These types of traps should really be refreshed every couple of days.
Thanks for the video. I made one just like this using a pickle jar. I used black spray paint to make the lid dark. can't wait to see the results
I thought it would show how to make the trap. Not show the trap working.
It DOES show how to make them. WATCH THE VIDEO.
:D half-watching huh :D it's at the end
EXACTLY!! This is frustrating when u're tryna catch these suckers!!
You can't read, huh?
yeah
put it in a blender
Lol.. That's the best idea out here
Thank you. I just puked
then... DRINK IT!
sharpshifter Will it blend?
Free protein shake. Maybe the chickens would dig it.
I like these new fly themed ASMR videos
Really nice tips, sugar. Thank you
Thank God, I've got the same problem with ducks! Going to get to work on your great idea. I leave my doors and windows open and have spent far too much money on traps at Tractor Supply. Flies in a room mess with your head! Super idea and video, thanks!
That is insane how many flies that trap caught. Quite horrifying.
Even more horrifying was her easy acceptance of smearing shit all over the place🤮
Great idea, I will try it. Thank you. :)
wow' Brilliant idea, thanks for sharing madam....
Thank you for the great video!! Don't know about some of the products you mentioned (things are a little different here in the US), but I'm sure we can make it work. Thank you for the ideas! :)
Wow I just learned so much from this video!😯
Make some type of flies bomb and send it to someone you don't like in nice wrapping paper so when they open it blows up releasing thousands of flies in there house lololol
Lol your evil
Your garden is Amazing✅✅
TY I just did this, yeah, it really gets nasty smelling after dead flies sit in it, and once doing it, every fly in the neighborhood wants it, but it's a mostly vacant jar now. Worked like a charm.
Great idea! Thanks!
Thank you! This is perfect
Problem with this is if they aren't disposed of in a timely manner the live ones may start laying eggs on the deceased ones, after which you'll start having maggots and new flies to deal with.
But this downside has to do with all fly catchers of this type not just home made ones. So after the trap gets full of flies to a certain degree its best to kill/dispose of them and start the trap over.
Digital Annihilation Don't chickens eat maggots ?
I add some bleach to kill the maggots right before I dispose of the whole jar and start a new one. I don’t have chickens.
Just feed the flies to the chickens at the end of the day.
I wish you had taught me this, summertime three years ago :) For some unknown reason (My guess would be old cat food, ), my house was inundated with flies. I would be swatting a hundred a day against our front window - The sun shines through that. It was carnage on our window sill and yet they kept on coming So great video. Have hardly seen a fly for the last two years. (Don't know why either..apart from both my beloved cats died within this time (they were very old). So Thanks again. I'll be armed if it happens again :)
why can't you just feed them back to the chickens, free protein.
dianna83301 I wouldn't want to eat the eggs from a chicken that has been eating flies that have been rotting in that
u'd empty it on a daily basis if fed back to chickens,.. I have free range chickens and they eat some stuff u would think was gross, its where they get protein from. I'VE SEEN
A CHICKEN EAT A MOUSE
AttentionJunkie you clearly dont know how reproductive system works and how eggs dont have anything to do with eating flies
dianna83301 yeah, Jack Lalanne said he never ate chicken after seeing what they did after a "honey wagon" dumped its load on the ground. They ate every speck!
***** you're not, flies carry many diseases on there hair and legs..
Those flies are like wearing golden armor
Why the hell am I watching these kinds of ideos, right when I'm eating something???
+TheCrazyKid1381 same
+TheCrazyKid1381 lol
+damian steezy lol
xD
*****
People like you makes me want to curse humanity for it's stupidity
That sunshade feature was excellent advice. Your trap was amazing !
One idea I had for an insect trap was a tube with a small fan at the entrance and some screen wire at the exit. The fan sucks the insects into the tube and blows them to the other end where the screen wire lets the air pass and keeps the insects in. The insects drop into a tray at the bottom of the exit area after they have used up their stores of energy.
I saw the purchased trap and instantly paused video and jumped on ebay buying one only then did i finish watching you informative video where at the end you tell us how to make one )) all fool me for jumping the gun and boy do they mark up the price on ebay compared to the original site . thanks for you help btw
this video has actually been a huge help with our chicken yard
thank you very much for giving us a show of how effective your trap is. could you please give a video where you are making it? and any ideas on how to deal with house/fruit flies?
The traps with meat definitely carry an odor of rotten meat so they cannot be placed on ones deck or house. These you’d place literally out near corrals, chicken house-away from people. ACV isn’t so bad though in house or on decks. With all that said-meat is the best attractor, and works the fastest. Agree that they should be changed frequently, if no other reason for the grossness alone.
Hi Clare a Must Try too looks Great.
Thank-you, John. The flies are pretty bad in Australia, I hear. If the mosquitos and the snakes don't get you, the house flies will.
Nah we are in Cooma same temps as Christchurch . seen no Mossies in Summer. and only a Lizard type Snakie besties crawl under Garden Shed. Not a Snake. looked more Eel like leggless Lizard I think too short for a Snake :) :) :) Yes Flies but we have Fly Screens
WebOfEvidence Definately! The really big house flies will even eat a small baby of you let them. I have even seen them carry kittens away in their claws. Some of our flies were affected by Chemtrails which caused them to grow to a huge size. Luckily you can hear them coming because their wings sound like a chainsaw.
Great vid! Mass population in California. I needed this to help deal with all these flyz. Can you do a follow-up video. On the best way to dispose of the jar contents
Jasper Martin gee, I wonder if I would live in Califucknia.
My neighbors got chickens and apparently they came with a lot of flys so annoyed I can’t even have peace in my own back yard
why do we get flys.
because you kill the spiders!
spiders get rid of these anouying things.
We sure do!
unless you have lazy spiders. I intentionally kept 2 spiders around, one of which was fairly decent size. Still had flies in all three rooms in my apartment this Summer after discovering a poorly installed window screen. Only went away when I started trapping.
hahaha yup , i guess spiders have personalitys too.
+Greshgore
how long u been trappin?
yea they do also praying mantises beetles and hornets
hello . clare swinney ! may i know what is the ingredients you use to make this trap flies
??
How do you empty these? Or do you just throw them out when they’re full?
Good info here! Thanks
i've watched a few vids on this i think your traps are great, i just want to mention bait' apparently' you could put " honey " in there iresistable to flies , also or milk also attracts and anything that is fermented' like red or white wine. bait like that is just as effective and maybe not as stinky also , i dunno maybe it will collect different fly species ? just my thought '
I have similar traps and I don’t understand how you could stand so close the smell that emits from the enormous stack of rotting flies is horrible
I believe that when you set flies traps up outside your home, you are attracting your neighbor's flies as well.
wow great results I will try that
Bur how do you get rid of them after you catch them and the container is full?
You, ma'am, are the goddess of the flies
Thank you good idea
You can make one hell of a fly smoothie with that girl!
This gives me an idea for a soda flavour!
FLY-NADE!!!!
a bunch of flies appeared in my rival's house
Well done sweetheart
Cheers
Deceptive. The title says "House Flies" but the trap is attracting Green Bottle flies (a blow fly).
A fly is a fly it goes in house now its house fly so stfu
josh Brz that made laugh though
Really good i did it and love it
Excellent breeding ground !
i still dont understand but ur voice is very lovely.
Great idea.
Thanks to a winter with almost no freezing, flies are literally EVERYWHERE!
I believe "Phototropism" is actually about organisms that grow from light stimulus. Most commonly plants. It can also be used for insects if they are attracted to it like the flying insects to a night light though. So that's probably what you are talking about.
But as far as you covering the holes at the top of course that's effective since then it's just black color even after the hole so they can't differentiate it that well. After all vision is merely just light traveling into a creatures eye. So you stopped if being able to see the hole from the inside basically by limiting the light. They basically can't see the hole they came in. But if you made the top lid another color they would differentiate it then and slowly be able to escape.
ziongite Google: 'Phototropism flies'. I learned about house flies being attracted to light and referred to as "phototropic" at Auckland University, when I studied Zoology as part of my M.Sc. (Hons).
If I have that much flies then I’m moving!!! 😂
This reminds me of an underrated Alice in Chains EP.
That's a lot of flies !
Why do I have the urge to yell, "MWAAAAAHAHAHAHA!!!!" at the top of my lunges? ;)
Because you are a childish person. Or maybe flies piss you off?
Wow, whoever thought of that are genius,
i like your tone...you should do some narrating ......btw does the bait smell bad? cz I use 1 here in CA ....which almost killed my neighbors with the flies
where do you put the flies?
Love New Zealand, hello from the States!!
Don't know how you guys can handle June in coats and a New Year in sandales. I heard people from here can't adapt to driving on the wrong side of the road. Everything is upside down in that part of the World. ;} I'd love to visit/life there, much more settle way of life.
My only issue with this is that it’s not indoors.
We are intruding in the flies homes.
If we take away flies we take away food and nutrients for other animals and plants... let’s keep that in mind please
i love that voice!
Where can we find this fush?
Dear a not understand how you did your trap, you can explain ? to do a movie with step by spet. Thanks. Eder - Brazil
i make my own fresh droppings lol
LOL
lol
Lololololololololol
+Cherry Ottley fresh droppings made daily hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Crazy results. Thousands of flies removed from the environment. Was it a noticeable improvement?
Do you feed the flies to the chickens afterwards?
Grind up and use as in soil around plants
Is that dropping that on the ground?
I just hope you are not about to express mail these flies to someone. I could not finish watching this so I don't have to know your intentions afterwards. Life is truly amazing the longer you live the more that you will see. And I hope to live a little longer to just able to categorize this one.
Do you feed the dead flys to the chickens?
nice background music
SOME OF THEM NEED TO START OVER
o yes it works !
Clare Swinney nice
Will the flies blend?
Corn works just as well to attract flies as rotting meat does but it doesn't smell
Probably because the flies know that anything GMO means death.
Corn from your hole?
Flys play a really important role in the animal kingdom. Without them animals would not decompose after death
+Tvtimeshistory That's incorrect. Although some invertebrates have an important role when it comes to "decomposition" of organic matter, they're not decomposers in the technical sense. Bacteria and fungi, on the other hand, are the main groups of decomposers.
Blend them
AND DRINK IT
My exact thought dude and then drinking it to see if u die
+GrozOutTV vegan friendly protein shake
e4rthw0rm Heck yea why not
+GrozOutTV Yeah, and put some vanilla flavoring. Probably higher quality protein than anything else you can buy. And cheaper too.
I seen some traps like that at Home Dipto
Can't watch this video. I hate flies. I will go nuts if there is one fly in my house. I won't rest until it is dead. I won't sit outside if there are flies. Now I have a vision of more flies than I see in an entire summer in one place and I still don't have my answer.
So you'd let Flys take over your home?
Flies*
O_o
A buddy of mine once made some tacos and he deep fried the corn shells in some cooking oil that had been sitting in a pan for a few days on the stove. After everyone had eaten, I showed up for some dinner. I went to fry myself some fresh shells and noticed tiny metallic green and blue floaties in the oil.
Upon further inspection, it turned out that there were about 30 flies that had come to the surface of the oil after the oil had cooled. Lucky me. I didn't partake in the feast. =)
Everyone was saying how delicious the food was. I never told them what I found. It would have been traumatizing, lol!
she caught enough flies to make FLIES pancakes...
The best way to catch in a house is make a cup of coffee in an old cup with plenty of sugar. It's crazy it caught them all in my house just put it under a light so the liquid shines. My cup was full in the morn
Those flies are huge.
Can you imagine being in the flies position? Trapped in a container with thousands of human corpses beneath you, with more humans entering in by the second, screaming and trying to escape.
That is what hell is like.
Must be western Australia. Where is your hat with hanging corks on it, mate? LOL!
that is amazing
Very good fly trap. Try to attract Black Soldier Fly with remain vegetable from kitchen bin so then they can laid their egg to grow as maggot and eat maggot fly and pupa...
thank you helping me bye
Alright now this made me want to jam some Alice in Chains
dang lucky, that gotta be like 2000 calories worth of protein.
