- Hallsome Farm video, sustainable agriculture or sustainable farming, today we make a cheap fly trap with items around the house. on the farm we have aquaponics, wicking beds, free range chickens a forest garden and many other permaculture practices. Our goal is to help people learn sustainable ways to improve their lives. Enjoy the video.
flies | fly trap | homemade fly trap | how to make a homemade fly trap that works | how to catch flies
I used dry dog food with a little water & a squirt of blue Dawn dish detergent. This is basically the same way I've made fruit fly traps for years. Same process with the bottle but you don't need to tape it if the way you cut it gave you a clean seal. For the solution mixture to catch fruit flies it's 2 parts apple cider vinegar to 1 part water & a squirt of blue Dawn. Fill it up to JUST below the funnel. Works like a charm
What's the dawn for? Do the maggots die in your mixture? I've tried killing them several ways and they are tough suckers.
@@dreamingrightnow1174 dish soap breaks the surface of the water to help drown. I'm assuming that's what it's for, at least for the fruit flies. Doesn't sound like there's enough water in for the flies for that.
Qqq
@@dreamingrightnow1174soap breaks the surface tension of water, I'm pretty sure they can just sort of stand on water without soap. You might have done the salt and water trick before where it all goes to the edge when you add soap, it's the same as that. The water molecules are being pushed away from the soap making them more spaced out. Another example is when you fill a glass of water past the rim where it's sort of a bubble over the top that's possible because of the surface tension, so if you added soap the the same glass it would spill over the edge. Sorry that was long I like water haha
Thanks a lot finally someone with a simple cheap house hold items that gets the job done! Plus did anyone notice he was direct to the point and not rambling on and on! Keep in mind that they do that on purpose to get u to watch there videos and have more commercials to get paid by TH-cam! So that's another huge reason I liked this video! Please if u notice a person that keeps talking and talking stop watching there videos and tell ur friends! Because I waste to much time just to find 1 video made simple and easy and have to watch 5 or 20 videos that r trash!!
Thank you for the great information. I agree with you about the flies waiting at any door and how they fly in as soon as a door is opened. I just hate that.
Me too
Thank you so much!! I have 3 flies that over stayed their visit..Working my last nerve..Totally going to make one now!! Thank you for the idea!
Sure hope you have fun with it.
More fun buy a bug salt gun become the game hunter of the house.shoots salt sneak and shot they never know it coming
I open the window and when 9ne flies in the window I close it fast..
The downside is I can't open the window until it dies.
Put vasoline around the top and maggots won't get out.Thanks for info hello from Missouri
I’ll try that thanks
@@HallsomeFarm did it work
Thanks
Part fill it with water after assembly with bait. The flies drown, and no maggots.
Good idea thanks
No problem. They work great for wasps as well. But then half a pint of gasoline down the nest works better still!
Thanks for the tip bud👍👍

Does a dash of dish soap work for large flies like it does for fruit flies (coating their wings)?
To avoid the smell. Construct the trap the same way but instead of rotting meat fill 1/3 of bottle with 50% water and 50% apple cider vinegar. Couple tablespoons of sugar and some liquid dish soap. The flies will drown in the mix and will not create maggots.
I'm here from Soup's channel. Good tutorial. 👍
Your views are about to skyrocket.
I live on a farm also I like the idea!! I use a cheap beach ball and paint it gloss black and hang out side in the horse barn after you paint it spray glue on it and it will catch yellow flys and black flys.
Good idea
Wow! Interesting!
Right? They fly in as soon as you open the door but you leave every door and window open and they don't seem to find any exist! Thank you for the help definitely going to make one.
I meant exit instead of exist btw i just type random words instead of the right word this is a really close one tho
Thanks bud, good trap and simple quick to make with household stuff.
You are welcome, it’s a fun simple project.
To the brother who lives in South America thank you for that beautiful introduction, speaking of the holy Bible, and most important youth hope to change of the men’s lives it’s about helping one another, and serving the Lord with all for it, or she any place anywhere discern the creator of the most HIGH!
I have tried this method , and it does really work, thanks
Yes it does, I was surprised though how fast the maggots came
Thank you, I'll be using this, South Dakota is out of Fly killing, or fly traps.... We are getting over 100 flys in each yard, and in houses. So this is very helpful!
Great for that many flies you might use a bigger bottle
@@HallsomeFarm it worked great... Until my dog ate it 😅
I'd like to add a bit of info to this, if you don't mind. While this device works well to catch flies, as you mention, you have to remember that it is designed to attract flies. Which is why I'm guessing you've got flies coming in when you open your door. Particularly if it's placed near your door. I might suggest placing it further away from your door, if that's in deed where you're placing the fly trap. Also, if you got garbage cans near your door, as I do because it's the only place for us to put them, then that could be the main problem. There are other steps you can take to prevent them from being attracted to your garbage cans in the first place.
We live on a 70 acre farm so there is no shortage of flies. We mostly see them around the kitchen area no where near a door. Our trash is also in the kitchen area but your ideas are good ones. I’ve seen people around here hang bags of water in front of their doors to keep flies out not sure if that works but they think so. Thanks for commenting and watching.
thank you - these flies buzzing around me are getting on my nerves - I am gonna make one right now ;)
I make traps this way except i fill them before i tape the tops on. Otherwise the flies can lick/eat what was dripped thru the top hole without going in.
Great video it was a big help thank you from your brothers south of the border in México!!
@Charlie Rothwill I was talking to Bob not you Charlie and I'm in Mexico and am not interested in going to the usa so how am I an invader ?
Thanks for watching my videos and ignore the rude people, there are always haters sorry for that. Usually they’re just mean to me.
Little tip on swatting flies - aim for their hind end. Flies take off in a backward direction.
maybe add liquid to the meat inside of the trap then the hatching maggots drown before they can climb out!
Thank you so much for posting this video I’ve never had a problem with flies before . My house is always really clean especially the bathroom and kitchen and I woke up one morning and there’s a bunch of flies hang around the top of my bathroom reminded me of ammityville horror LOL I’m gonna try this today to take you very much for the tip I hope it works
It does work good luck, watch out for maggots it won’t take long
Sounds like you got a haunting 🤣🙈
Sounds like you either have carcasses in the walls or sewage leak somewhere.
best diy fly trap video
Thanks for sharing this. I didn't think about the maggots problem.
Maybe a few seconds in the microwave every day will kill the maggots as they hatch
Morbid but should work
ok i just used another method to get rid of flies and small flies in my house. take a water spray bottle.. fill it with water and some dawn dish detergent. Just keep spraying the flies and small ones.. i killed 3 big flies.. they all slow down because they get wet, and there is also dawn dish detergent so that must slow them down also.. then i just get them with the wet kitchen cotton towel. I just kept at it, spraying all those flying ones, big ones. small ones on the wall.. etc. i killed so many. I got the big ones in mid air and as you spray them and keep spraying they will slow down.. they will land someplace and just get them. The small ones if they land on the wall or in mid air the same system.. keep spraying.. keep wacking with wet towel.. then after all that you can also add this trap. But spraying them worked so fast.
Thanks for the info. Going to try this.
We think alike. It's the only aerobic workout I've had in the last 2 years.
Having a lot of indoor plants is my house, I brought in one that had fruit flies. Within two weeks I had a fly infestation. I tried all different types of methods, it was too slow
My solution was to place a small amount of pineapple juice in a small container, not covered. Iplaced it close to my plants were I saw a lot of flies. Within the hour each container had over 50 flies. Good luck with those pesty insects.
Bro you literally made them a breeding ground with food. That's not the best idea
Great idea on letting the chickens eat the maggots! Practical, inexpensive, and environmental.
Yes and I don't have to worry that they crawl out of the trash can.
You eat chicken, bait trap with chicken bits, fly eats chicken bits, lays maggots- dies, chicken eats maggots, again you eat chicken- the circle of life is now complete. ☺
Thank you so much for the video and all the extra information very helpful
I appreciate your comment
Thanks buddy as I live in the mountains of South America and I don't have screens on my windows and must open the doors and windows by 10:00 or 11:00 because the Sun makes it too hot in here and as you say even with screens they will sneak in. I was already using yogurt containers with little knife holes in the top and putting banana peel and other things to catch fruit flies but now you have given me your idea to catch the real badass flies that try to drive me crazy when I'm eating and I don't want a flying maggot crap eater landing on my food haha. One guy said raw eggs out in the sun but I like your ground meat idea better because I don't think the order will be as bad and I will do what I do with the fruit flies after three or four days I drown them by pouring water into the holes running it under the faucet Shake It Up and they all die. If there's maggots I'll pour them out and monkey Stomp Them. Then another guy had dishwashing detergent added to the solution so that way maybe it would keep the maggots down or I'll just drown them in 3 days and that should do it. God bless you brother and your whole family. Trust your creator to take you through these crazy times that we're in. I don't play churches brother because most of them are fake but I have studied the Bible for 40 years and I help young men get off drugs and I teach them the word and how to live a stand-up life so you just made a contribution to helping young men get their lives right. God bless you with the truth the life and the way and that's for everyone looking at the comments. We're fighting luciferian bankers and you can't fight Lucifer without Christ. Think about that. They admit Lucifer is their God and they even do child sacrifices plus drink the children's blood after they rape them so the adrenochrome is high. Sick really freaking sick people so grab on to your creator Jesus Christ and he will either take you through it or take you home. This life is but a breath and Eternity is a long time. Surrender to the Lord and you get free eternal life just come as you are don't pay any attention to churches or preachers that tell you you have to change this or that. Leave that up to God he will guide you. Bendiciones, blessings. From Craig in South America
Tried this all summer and it works.
Great glad it helped
You might want to get a Ziploc bag with 4 Pennys and put a few inches of water in the bag with the pennies. The water refracts of the pennies making them look like 8 eyes. when the flies see it they stay away because it looks like spider eyes. Hang them in a couple areas around your windows and doors and the flies won't rush in. No joke!!! I've done it for years and the flies don't come in
Your supposed to fill it halfway with water and the meat or yeast works excellent also and you won’t get any maggots
Perfect idea, I’ve just tried it now, my cottage here just outside London is swarming right now with flies. Fingers crossed this will slow em down 👍
Good luck
Thanks for the tip. Try to make.
Sure, have fun
Great video seems like a good honest dude
Thank you
This had helped me, thank you
Glad for the report thank you for sharing
Try using raw sourdough as bait... The flies love it but lots less smell.
Where do we get Raw Sourdough?
@@Rosebud830 could probably just use a but if flour and yeast, it will sour pretty quickly in the warmth.
Good tips. THanks
Good video very helpful.
Thank you for the nice comment
I caught over 30 files thank you so much
You’re welcome
THANKS SOOOOOO MUCH!!!!! Cats & Dogs go in and out.....Flies Just Wait for that!!!!!
😐
Thanks! Any ideas to make a trap that Works, but does NOT SMELL, for inside my kitchen? I ALso have a Huge Fruit Fly Swarm in my kitchen w the flies. After removing my fruits from the counters, I've made lots of Apple Cider Vinegar, Sugar w detergent traps. They seem to drive the swarms of FF to hang out near the traps, but dont go in??? Oh, does ACV liquid help catch the flies and drown the maggots?
goood info. Thanks for sharing.
I don't do anything this elaborate. All I do is get a small bowl. Put 1/2 cup water in it. Then put 1-2 ounces of apple cider vinegar and 1 teaspoon of sugar in it. Lastly, 1-2 drops of dish washing liquid. I then put the small bowl under a light in the kitchen. I catch each and every fly 100% of the time within 20 minutes. I use an old cottage cheese container with a lid. Once I catch the fly/flies, I fish them out, put the lid on the container and put it under my kitchen sink for later use. Why waste the ingredients?
Thanks....did not know of the maggot thing.
👍👍👍very good video.
Thanks for the info brother. Gonna try it out today.
Great videos
exatly what i was lookin for. especially the throw it to the chickens part! thx
Thanks for watching
If you spray the inside with cooking oil like Pam or something, will that keep the maggots from climbing up the sides?
What about a little water to keep the maggots down in the bottle acouple of drop or teaspoon
Thank, every time well am at home fly are very disturbing plus hard to kill it when flies fly fast.
This will work for you
As you use the castings the bed will eventually go down. What do you use to refill the wicking bin?
I had a swarm of flies in my house one morning. What has worked for me after a lot of trial and error is this:
1. Clean out the bathroom completely. You don't want the flies to have options of things to land on. And when you start spraying them, it'll get everywhere.
2. I was using a can of Maximum Hold Hairspray, but then I switched to a spray bottle filled with water and some dish soap (This is VERY SLIPPERY use CAUTION). I leave a fly swatter in a bucket in the bathroom for quick and easy access.
3. Turn on the bathroom light and leave the door open.
4. Turn off off ALL the other lights in the house. Listen to some music. Talk on the phone. Go for a walk. Run a quick errand. Just keep the lights off. You don't want to wait for hours because you'll have to keep doing this about every hour. You won't get them all in one day.
5. Wait an hour.
6. They'll be there.
7. You can spray them first to slow them down. It will be messy and sticky.
8. When they land, usually on or near the light, or the mirror, just get the swatter no more than 2 inches from them (they really don't fly away, so be brave and get close) and flip your wrist. SMASH!
9. When they start swarming after you've killed some, leave the room.
10. Wait about 30 minutes for them to settle down and start landing again.
11. Repeat.
12. Pick all of them up and put in a tightly sealed container and mail to Bill Gates, he says we should quit eating meat and eat bugs.
When you go to bed at night leave the light and door open. You will probably have some more in there in the morning.
You'll think you've gotten them all, but more will come back. I guess they have to grow up. So, don't move anything back into the bathroom until you've not see any for a couple of days. Be sure to wipe EVERYTHING down with water and Borax or whatever you use.
Make sure you're extra diligent about keeping the trash out. Don't let it sit overnight. I threw away all my fruit and onions and potatoes that were out. Keep everything dry.
The flies like it door, lacquer is sweet also, n maybe our houses smell nice to them like poo and rotting flesh, lol. Have a great day , thanks
It’s a farm there’s always the smell of poo
@@HallsomeFarm I read up why flies like to hang out near doors and windows. They like the cool breeze or change in temperature which is likely the AC escaping from the house near a door or window sill. We had same problem open door and like 5 rush in. Thanks for the tip on this trap I'm going to try it perhaps with adding some water.
i stay not far from a rooster yard in thailand and man the flys in the morning are unbearable i use same idea but shrimp paste as bait.. works a treat it stinks but its outside so bearable . cool bro
Thanks for sharing
Thank you it works
Try using pancake syrup with a mashed up hotdog. Works well.
Fruit works great as bait. No stink, and no maggots lol.
It works with fruit flies, I use apple cider vinegar and a bit of detergent. I use a glass with a film of plastic wrapping paper, and make a slice in the center of the film, fries get in but won't go back.
Thanks for the video :)
You are welcome have fun with it
Outstanding sir.
Thank you!
One thing I've done, not having chickens, is pop it in the freezer just long enough to freeze them. It kills the maggots then I stuff a something in the hole so no new flies get in and toss it in my outside trash. I made the mistake of leaving them in the freezer too long and the smell is so powerful, it soaks into the walls of the freezer. Disgusting.
Mmm now I can make some fly patties..(high protein 🤷🏾♂️)
👍🏾 I made a few more for bbq’N
Thanks!
Great glad this helped
Thank you think I will pass don’t want flies moving in I’ve given a like
How come you didn't want to put liquid in there so they drowned? Some soapy water?
Wasn’t sure if the flies would be attracted to the bottle with Liquid in it.
Came for the fly trap stayed for the tape fold over
Okay did you make one?
Your a nice looking man!!!
Thank you for the info on the maggots. maggots freak me out.
Good video
This is so useful thx
Thanks enjoy
Thank you verry much old friend..tomorrow i'm going to try it 🙏
Let me know how it works out
Awesome Tip Mate, gonna try this method and I hope it works..... Thanks for sharing ur idea...: Liked and Subscribed......
Thank you for watching, it really does work but you need to toss it once maggots can be seen they can get out of the trap.
I will be trying that trap
Ngl thus is a good plan but mine didn’t work flys knew what was up lol
Thnx for da tip
Sure easy to do
I've had good luck with red wine or vinegar and no maggots. I forgot to close a bottle of Irish whiskey one time and they seem very fond of it also.
That’s good never heard of that one
great video! I am going to try it out. thank you
Great have fun
EVERYONE ALWAYS REMEMBER WHAT YA BOY TREY WILSON DAID.
" you can catch flys with honey, but you can catch alot of hunnies being fly 😎..
I think my spiders will love their new food😁
Cool
Cool
Trap
What keeps them from getting back out?
New subscriber here, I made a fly trap video that works very effective with water and a pop bottle. It’s probably my most watched video actually. Thank you for your tips.
Happy trails
Luke
Mine too
I just leave my soda water bottles on the table and the dregs attract the flies and they can't get.
Reminds me of gf dad haha hell yeah brother
this was helpful
Congratulations
Put some water in it and the flies will drown and not hatch maggots. Just need to make the water smelly somehow. If the flies in there are dead and the meat decays and everything gets good and yucky you'll have a nice oozy mess that still drowns the flies. Once you're done with it, just call a hazmat team to dispose of it.
Funny but may not be a bad idea. If I try it I’ll post the results
Thank you. Just subbed to your channel.
Thanks
a glass coke bottle with small drink at the bottom works well.
Okay
Now I can catch flies
Yes you can at no cost
How do you get rid/kill the maggots if you don’t have chickens? I would not want to throw it in the trash.
I poke holes in the inverted part,it seems to attract the flies more.
Put a bit of rank organic matter in a 5 gallon bucket, with a mouse sticky trap/card (outside of course) and you'll have 50 flies stuck in no time.
ADD WATER TO THE MEAT SO NO LARVAE AND DROWNED FLIES
Good idea
Thanks ima do that now
If you put water in it will they drown?
I would not think so
Does this work for cluster flys,?
My mom puts water and meat in the bottom keeping the meat covered. I don't know if that will solve the maggot problem. It is not something yo noticed in her outside traps.
If the meat is covered does it still attract flies?
My late Pop used to say there is a special place in hell reserved for those who don't fold over the end of a roll of tape...
Seems you may be of the same mind... 😈
Sure make life easier
That must be the same spot in hell reserved for the ppl who put a dent or tear in a roll of tin foil, lol
you must have had a rough childhood
I can appreciate that....but I pray there's a worse place for these fucking flies!
@@brianbelmont9751 thing is without the flies, corpses would never rot. So we need a few or both hell and heaven would be kinda empty. Souls trapped forever.
