Catch Hundreds of House Flies In Days With A Homemade Trap
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 авг 2024
- 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!
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
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
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 😢
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.
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
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.
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!
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
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.
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🤮
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..
Why the hell am I watching these kinds of ideos, right when I'm eating something???
+TheCrazyKid1381 same

People like you makes me want to curse humanity for it's stupidity
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.
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
Brilliant trap, simple to make, cheap to use & actually works. Thanks for sharing.
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?
Friend Claire,
this is a great idea, I shall try it.
Blessin gs,
pierre from New Mexico
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
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.
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
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!
wow' Brilliant idea, thanks for sharing madam....
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.
flies are so annoying - i hate them so much. If I have one in my flat it won't live long. No mercy with these useless creatures.
If I had a full bottle like this one in the video i would in the end put fire on them! >:-)
Maggy7187 flies aren't useless. They are important for decomposing dead bodies.
Without flies, bodies will still get decomposed by micro-organisms, flies just speed it up.
@@vengeanceseeker6450 vultures..?
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
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...
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 :)
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
I like these new fly themed ASMR videos
Those flies are like wearing golden armor
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
I believe that when you set flies traps up outside your home, you are attracting your neighbor's flies as well.
huh. Lots of flies around CHICKENS??? Try having a cow!
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
Thanks for posting this. I used to catch hundreds of flies, the horses would come to me to get themselves free of flies. I would place a fish net over their eyes scoop up the flies then turn the bottle upside down between my knees and as they headed for the sunlight I would put the cork in the bottle. The flies were then used to feed rescued frogs and injured lizards :)
Now I will make some traps and hang them near the stables. Wished there was something that could catch these giant horse flies with green eyes they are an inch long, ugh !

Breaking News Hi, I live in the Netherlands and since a couple of years we do have a very good solution against horse flies. If you are interested check out this site: h-trap-dazenval.nl/?p=home&m=1&taal=en
👍Awesome. I’ll try it. Thanks for sharing. 💞
Where's PETA?
even PETA doesn't care about flies. They are mostly concerned with cute animals.
Tomi Adewole PETA for insects? Are you confused?
Tomi Adewole PETI
Tomi Adewole flies are not animals they are invertebrates. and we don't have peta over here its called spca
Thomas Mclean Bones or no bones...they're still alive lol. And PETA tends to display a worldwide reach when it suits them. In any case, the joke has just about run its course. Carry on - )
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! :)
Can you find a way to catch them alive so I can feed it to my pet praying mantis
A regular fly trap and grab them off while still alive... if your pray mantis is still alive
Exaitec nope it died like 10 days after I got it
Can your pet eat it dead?
Is he a still alive it’s been 3 years
Yea I need it for my veness fly trap
If I have that much flies then I’m moving!!! 😂
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.
Your voice and your explanation is not clear you must make a video and show from scratch how to make the fly trap
Dear a not understand how you did your trap, you can explain ? to do a movie with step by spet. Thanks. Eder - Brazil
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?
FLY-NADE!!!!
a bunch of flies appeared in my rival's house
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.
Great idea, I will try it. Thank you. :)
Grind up and use as in soil around plants
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).
Great idea! Thanks!
I am not going to use this inside my home.
Why is it so hard to find an effective fly trap for inside the home?!
Put it outside ur home then?
Crazy results. Thousands of flies removed from the environment. Was it a noticeable improvement?
Really nice tips, sugar. Thank you
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.
i make my own fresh droppings lol
LOL
lol
Lololololololololol
+Cherry Ottley fresh droppings made daily hahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks to a winter with almost no freezing, flies are literally EVERYWHERE!
Your garden is Amazing✅✅
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.
Do you feed the dead flys to the chickens?
BUT do they SMELL bad? The ones we have smell horrid and we are trying to find something that doesn't stink the whole house up.
Great, but what's the use? Even if you catch 100 flies, there are still 1,000,000 other flies out there....
Alright now this made me want to jam some Alice in Chains
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
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...
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 '
Must be western Australia. Where is your hat with hanging corks on it, mate? LOL!
My Wifes cooking so bad that the flys got together and fixed the screen in the screen door....
Jeff Polaras you got one like
@@chrismercuriobaltazar7445 and you only got 1 too. Haha.
what is fisshant water? you mean smelly water? or mince, or rotting meat, ok, but what if its inside your house?
why am I watching this at 2:00am? I need a life.
Yes, and a year later - still the same carpet and TV?
This reminds me of an underrated Alice in Chains EP.
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.
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.
In Tasmania we mix teaspoon of vegiemite and hot water and mix until dissolved. Then feed to chickens
i'm literally sick. but thanks!
You can make one hell of a fly smoothie with that girl!
SOME OF THEM NEED TO START OVER
o yes it works !
Wow I just learned so much from this video!😯
That's a lot of flies !
What about the purpose of flies, especially in farm like surroundings?
Not only are these flies a nuisance, but they can also carry disease-causing organisms. Too many flies are not only an irritant to farm workers but, when there are nearby human habitations, a public health problem could occur. Read more: entnemdept.ufl.edu/creatures/urban/flies/house_fly.HTM
Their purpose is infecting cattle's eyes with nasty parasites and spread infections to other animals including humans.
The purpose of flies is to make your life miserable.
What's the best - and least gross way to dispose of the traps? I live in a residential area in a tropical region.
trash can, or throw it in your neighbours yard
pour in some lighter fluid... you see were im going with this.
Don't discard them, they make great fertilizer, soil builder
That'll teach them.
Add a little bleach to kill the maggots and into the farthest trash disposal, bottle and all. Start anew.
Do you feed the flies to the chickens afterwards?
How do you empty these? Or do you just throw them out when they’re full?
We had a lot of chickens and no flies to me that's weird 🤔🤷♀️
hello . clare swinney ! may i know what is the ingredients you use to make this trap flies
??
I'm doing research and I have put together a blue print for a device to kill flies (It's for home-use though)
It has a flame thrower on one end (ejects about 3-4 feet) in a 30 degree horizontal/vertical at the nozzle exit.
The other side a tiny suction device (small hoover if you will) to hoover up the wingless fly off the floor. The flame thrower just burns their wings off so they drop out the sky. Wings are incredibly fragile, even getting nowhere near them sometimes the heat melts the wing.
What do you think? I think people who hate flies as much as me will buy it, I also think people will buy it as a 'fun' Xmas present too.
I'm in. : )
Same thing would happen with people in the U.S. using a Walmart or a McDonalds?
Bur how do you get rid of them after you catch them and the container is full?
Wish you would have shown how you made those traps. Cause I couldn't see exactly how you did it. I hate fly's
i still dont understand but ur voice is very lovely.
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
Search: "chicken feeder fly bucket" without quotes, to see how you can turn a plague of flies, into food for chickens.
.
I saw a video of a person with chickens, and they hung a bucket with meat (or something dead) in it, above a surface with no grass or anything, such as a concrete patio. He drilled holes in the side, so that as the larvae mature and want to pupate, they will crawl up the sides and out of the holes and fall onto the concrete, where the chickens easily see them and eat them. He warns it will smell awful, so hang it up high. I can't find the exact video, but there are lots of people now who have done the same thing. The only reason to watch the videos after reading this, is to find a design you like, by eliminating the problems some people may be having that they didn't notice.
.
I'm sure you could combine a fly-trap with a larvae chicken feeder, to keep most of the flies from escaping, while having most of the escaped larvae be eaten by chickens (and whatever else finds them). Maybe you could design a ground under it, so that the larvae can not escape, and any larvae that pupate, could be physically eliminated or dehydrated with a DIY box made to use the intense heat from sunlight for a dry food for later. Just be sure to store dried food in with something that actively removes humidity, like a Damp Rid container and have it in a sealed container, that way if there is still 0.1% moisture/humidity, it will be removed so that they don't rot and mold. When storing food you dry, it must maintain 0.00000000...% moisture.
Well done sweetheart
Cheers
Wow, whoever thought of that are genius,
can you make a video to show as its hard for me to understand directions you wrote thanks
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.
