Fly Traps

You can also make a fly trap easily with an old jelly or pickle jar. Simply poke some holds in the lid using a hammer and nail, ensuring the holes are just big enough for a fly to squeeze through. Put something stinky inside the jar and close the lid. You can pour a little syrup in the bottom, use jam or a piece of overripe fruit. Some people swear by wine, especially chardonnay. Flies will wiggle through the holes to get inside, but will not be able to get out.
