      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.

      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. ♥️🙏

    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

    • @buckettraveler8398
      @buckettraveler8398 4 года назад +24

      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.

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

    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.

      Our neighbor came over and saw our trapped and dead flies. He said we should put the traps some place away from our deck because we were attracting more flies to the deck with our traps. It made since so we moved them away from the deck (about 15 or 20 feet away).
      He was right. Now we don’t see even one fly on the deck.

    I made fairly effect fruit fly traps out of pill bottles. I made a cone out of a piece of paper and taped it inverted into the bottle. For bait, I used a slice of banana. It was the banana skins in the trash that were attracting them in the first place, so I used banana as bait. After a couple days, there would be a bunch of them in the trap, all looking for a way out. I would then fill it with water through the paper cone and drown the little suckers.
    I made a more re-usable version by making a hole in the bottle's cap, then using the end of a small funnel hot-glued into the hole. That way I could just unscrew the cap, clean it out and re-use it without having to make a new paper cone and tape it in.
    I tried making a larger one in a peanut butter jar, but I left the hole in the end of the paper cone too large and they were finding their way back out of it.

      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.

    Straight to the point and I appreciate that, but one thing that was not mentioned was the BOTTLE SIZE. I think you used a 24 oz or 38 oz bottle. I used what I had in the house, which was 16.9 oz (500 ml) and when I used the measurements from this video, the tip of the bottle was touching down onto the liquid surface. I would imagine that would make it easy for the flies to take what they want and escape, so I dumped out some of the liquid and am waiting to see if it works.
