- How to make a Homemade Fly Trap that WORKS!
This is actually made with NO COST from you because the items used are used by your family or friends. When it is fill just toss it in the trash. - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
Thanks for this, I tried vegemite and it didn't work after several days so will give this a go. Glad you like we Aussies!!
Great vid. I used a different bait and it worked wonders. I put my MIL's used drawers in there and it worked like a charm. I ran the drawers thru a mulcher then I hired a hazmat crew to stuff the container with shredded drawers. Flies from 3 towns over was found in the container. Filled up after a single overnight hanging.
Sidenote to whoever reads this... I don't know why but when I checked the trap the next day a line of men (a crackhead, wino, 2 johns and a preacher) stood right next to the gallon container. Can u believe that? Strange power in that trap there.
Thank you. I am so glad it worked good for you.
Ooo I wonder if they got stuck in the side hole! 🤣
😂
Great Video. I use x2 raw eggs, a bit of yeast and a bit of sugar. Works fantastic
That's a lot more pleasant than what I used. 🙂
The best ingredients I have found to attract flies are old bread, oats, or anything made with flour and syrup, corn syrup, anything sugary and sweet made with real sugar. That same day you have flies in your trap. I made a few and this is about the 4th or 5th time I've had to replace my traps I've caught hundreds of them with this reciepie.
Nice post.
The commercial kit that ‘s nearly identical ( packet of stinking bait powder) costs about $22. It worked great last year but of course it was discarded. You design is clever and will no doubt work equally well…… for “free”! Thsnks
Nice.
Creative and cool
awesome, thank you for the response. I will make a few today!
Nice.
Fly: Got-Damn! It smells good out here. Aye Leroy you in their!?
Not sure what you're talking bout. Doesn't smell bad because far and high away from anyone.
LOL He's quoting what the fly is saying when he discovers the fly trap.
Leroy: Yea I'm here. C'mon in, the water is nice. Did ya bring the beer? The burgers are on the grill.
whats stopping the fly from flying back out the hole it came in? did i miss something?
They naturally want to fly up to escape. They do not know to go out the way they come in. With an 8 day life span what can they learn?
Hey mate tassie does rock :) glad you liked oz....... Love the trap, funny because I was saying out loud while watching "use the dog poop!" It works well & mate I would send you some vegimite BUT postage glass and cost is just so crazy expensive!!!!! But hey if you REALLY WANT SOME let me know health love and light to our world (gal from oz)
Awesome idea - going to get busy now. Have ducks and these flies are making me crazy!
Good luck.
your neighbors are going to love you😂😂😂 you got to do what you got to do.👍👍
They all do. No flies at all and it does not stink.
one dog poop... 1 handfull of cat food or dog food....and enough water to cover...cut a x slit in center of cap....and push cap inward until there is enough room for a fly to get through.. once they touch the starch on the dog or cat food... they are too heavy to fly.... works best with metal lids for plastic still works... just made one.... one hour ago have at least 30 flies.... if you don't live in a tropical area you wouldn't understand.....
Explain that "starch" thing, would you, please?
Don't forget the sugar water to get it all nice an "cookin"!
I use the captivator fly trap jug. It is extremely cheap and definitely works!
Nice.
It works!!!! Wish I could show mine.
Put it on your channel.
I have chickens. By late summer, flies get bad. Going to try this. Found a lot of flies in the coop bedding so I started out cleaner than usual.
how cool... never would of tryed to that...
I love Australia too
I love this. Someone told me about this with bacon- I thought they were joking. But it works wonders.
Feces makes more sence, since that's what is attracting the flies to the yard in the first place. 🤔.
Great!
just for your edification since you gave Aus a thumbs up. We pronounce Melbourne, Melbin and not Melborn. Thumbs up to the vegemite
Right on....I learned it the hard way
Great job. I would suggest not leaving too long before disposing of the critters and changing the bait. There is a lot of bacteria that manifests rather quickly.
Not only that. The sun breaks down this plastic within a month. When I took it down it crumbled apart. Thanks for posting this.
I did not see how you installed that bit of a water bottle into the milk jug. Do you have that on another video? It's probably simple to figure out, but sometimes, some of us just nd a 'show and tell' to get it done correctly. Thanks for sharing this. I'm making two of them tomorrow. Here's hoping I don't get the water bottle thing wrong. LOL
Just today checked you can buy the vegetated off of Amazon
this is carson jones btw
We don't really have milk cartons in the Philippines. Is it possible to use any types of bottles? Do they need to have a semi transparent look?
+Francis Yu Find a plastic container that can hold water, put a hole on the side (mid way), has a top cap and can be hung. Hope this helps. I have been to the Philippines three times. I miss your place.
+William Quinn this just makes me love your channel more! Let me know when you're back in the Philippines maybe I can suggest some new restaurants that you can try! Hahahaha
+Francis Yu I was there in the 90's via the US Navy. No plans to return.
shrimp shells and sardines either one works real well for flies
That is great if they are handy. Thanks for the post.
Won't maggets start hatching in there after a few days?
Yes. That may be a time to replace it.
I love australia too.
My favorite of ALL places is Tasmania. Love Australia too, :-)
u should do diy
I got to try it
Don't let the milk jug to aout there more than 30 days. I will fall apart in you hands. Ugh!
I loved this idea for Outside! I have flies indoors and Need your help without Stinking inside my house! I have an incontinent pup who goes on puppy pads....I think is the source of the flies. I've used sprays, sticky Window strips, Fly swatter and Battery operated hand held Bug Zapper! All leave me frustrated, help!😫😫😫😫
Electric fly swatter and pots of lemon grass of mint plants at each door.
I do not understand how you build that side entrance into the container, its not shown in your video ?
Cut a small hole and inset a cut off top of a water bottle.
So the flies can get inside. 💁🏾
Instead of using a bottle top, just cut a small X or two and press it slightly inward with your pinkie. The flies can get in, but cannot get out that way. With the bottle top it is too large of an opening, so many flies will still be able to get out. You will have much better results this way.....Good luck.
Thanks for your input.
always put the trap away from your home & closer to your neighbors
That IS my neighbors house. :-)
@@billyq12001 thats what i mean, the trap is full of sh1t
Going to try this with horse manure
Great idea. I am visiting my sons horse farm, so free poop. LOL He also raises chickens where I believe most of the flies come from. So, thinking I might make one with fly poop, too. Just in case is the greater 'attractor'.
Hot dogs and hamburgers? Too funny....... But I must give this a try!
Let me know what happens.
I used the raid for flys or the one shot for flys when I came from work my dog ears were all eaten nd full of dry blood nd by fleas nd since I try that now he looks like new not even fleas, don’t used a lot just cover he’s nose nd eyez nd spray from far like u painting a car try this for your outdoor dog shower nd when he drys used just spray twice from a feet away nd again cover he’s eyez mouth nd nose🐕
Thanks for the post. It may help someone.
should pour this in garden and turn over and leave to fertilize soil
but still stinky and gross
Going to try this in my house. We're having a weird fly infestation on a portion of my street. Can I put sugar water instead? Don't want raw meat in my house.
Sugar will attract ants. Use something a neighbor car supply like dog droppings.
Looks more like a fly breeder than a killer to me. You need to put some agent in the water to let them fall below the water line and drown like soap or a poison chemicals.
The new fly never have a chance. it doesn't stay up long enough.
I made one and used dog poop as bait. In a weeks time I caught 6 flies. I placed it near one of my dogs that gets terrorized by flies so the flies are there. They just aren’t going into the trap.
Nice.
Rotten meat i think can also be used to catch Catfish.
Very true,
The bottles produce more than you trap them, LOL
But they stay inside.😀
*"How to make a Homemade Fly Trap that will make your entire backyard stink of rotten food & shit"*
Not at all.
Why dispose of it put it in Compost
Or feed to chickens . Then reuse jug
Milk jugs crack easy when in the sun. Thanks for posting.
Why don't the flies fly out the hole in the side, same as they came in?
Is it just me? But when he showed the traps with the flies, water and poop inside, I got nauseous just thinking about the smell inside...🤢🤢🤢ewww...but hey, looks like they work.
WHICH ONE TRAPPED MORE FLIES ? !!!!
My first one, the milk jug, did. It has to be put up when the temp outside is in the 80 to heat up the water.
About any cat food attracts flies like crazy and it smells like something dead in a couple days attracting even more flies.
Nice idea.
I WAS EATING 😢😢😢😢😢
good
And they don't fly back out the hole because.........?
Cartons are a paper product...
vegemite ? in the uk we have marmite
Nice.
Goes inside washes hands but doesn't wipe down phone or recorder...Bam cross contamination :)
Not sure what you are saying and what this has to do with this video.
*raw chicken :)
I used my dog's poop for bait and flies couldn't go in fast enough.
You may have to make more than one.
LADIES! We now can recycle our used Tamps. 🤣
Im trying fish sauce, salt, beef, egg. We’ll see.
After at ripens it should work.
what , you me!'good chats plant's
LOL 😂 see! plants 12+67 34
yes do you we i can't
+Keisha Eliyanta Keisha Se my gardening playlist. Thanks for viewing my video.
Holes too big
Not for me. Nothing is frying out that way.
I'm
That's nasty. I don't want shit-smelling stuff around my place.
Enjoy the flys then😂
Great way to create mosquitos. Idiotic idea.
This video popped up when I was on Facebook. Good for you!!!
Wow. Nice.
I've been looking for a good fly trap to make. And I just made mine using chicken. So hopefully it works and gets rid of all the flies in my back yard
Good luck.
Brecca Quinones Did it work?
definitely will be doing this. thank you!
+David James May get some fruit flies too. Please let me know.
Nice.
Nice idea for a hanger!
+www.FineFolly.com Thanks.
How do the mosquitos do with the stagnant water?
Tuna fish oil works great!
Great idea. I may try that since what I use sticks so much.
what prevents them from coming out of the side hole?
This is how smart they are. They sure will not tell me.
What keeps the flies from flying back out?
They want to go up to get out.
"If you don't have a dog use your neighbor's" haha. The awkward moment when your neighbor catches you grabbing their dog "droppings"
Hugo Rosendo LOL!!! :-) Nice. Raw meat of any kind with work. I find dog dropping to be the fastest to attract flies. Some dogs go on the side of the road. It would be a cool video catching someone sneaking up to grab it. lol
William Quinn Ever tried roadkill? I guarantee, that stuff will stink like nothing else when it starts decomposing. Ever smell liquified fox corpse? Then again, that is probably overkill and would make the whole block have an ungodly stench.
Don't like messing with roadkill. I will let the local Turkey Vultures take care of them.
William Quinn Don't blame you. I had the misfortune of having to carry a bag that had a liquefied fox corpse inside from the back yard to the front yard garbage. It had a worse smell than a thousand hells :(
I have a video on how to dispose this container.
Do the bottles have to be transparent?
+Samantha Fernandes No. Just good to see if there is still water inside.
I use the "Trap n Toss" brand that cost about 8 bucks but if you can make your own for free all the better. My mom put cat shit in water as bait in one and the flies loved it.
Nice.
Would this work for the larger deer and horse flies?
Not sure. Feel free to give it a try and reply to this post with the results.
The nozzle from the water bottle should be reversed from what you have it. It should create a funnel into the trap and a reverse funnel from inside the trap.
+Vegas_Jay Not at all. This worked great catching over 10k flies.
And can put cap on to dispose of it 😜
AW, MAN! You'll keep attracting all the flies in the neighborhood FOREVER in the season. Never mind the ants, the wasps, the yellow jackets....
+ElCid48 I have eliminated all flies this year, 2015. I have made videos covering "How to Kill Ants for Good". Working on the yellow jackets and wasps.
William Quinn
I'll check them out.
Thanks!
Thanks
William Quinn
Sure bet!
add one small drop of Dawn dishwash detergent.... Also take the blood soaked pad under the chicken and squeeze it out into the jug.
works great indoors, too, if you don't mind your house smelling like shit
+Atacama Humanoid Ugh. lol
:D
Hi what kind of solution
Dog droppings and water.
Why don't the flies exit back out the hole?
The fly up at all times.
I don't understand. Why don't they fly up and out the hole?
That is what they do. Sorry. I am not a fly.
I'm one and i can give you some more insight
july1962 Because they're Democrats
Can't the flies just fly out?
They want to fly up. not sideways.
Someone please send this man some vegemite.
+pippaknuckle Use to get it from someone I met in Tasmania.
Did you run before making this video?
probably a sign person does not workout and is overweight
I just wonder if the water will become mosquito breeders
Don't think so.
Obviously you use to clean it out e every few days or so, lol...
Just strain the water, spray out the inside with fresh water, and you're good to go.
Will this give out a foul smell? I don't want my neighbours/ family complaining.
We dont count tasmania as apart of us
so I see flies inside, but wont it just keep attracting more and more flies????
This was filled up when I took it down.
Why wouldn't the flies just fly back through the hole?
Arthur Stanley By default they fly up. That is just what they do.
the flight pattern is too big to fly out of the hole. too stupid.
***** I think the idea,is to when a fly flies in the hole and flies up to the top,it tires out and eventually falls in the water and drowns.There is a similar trap for mice..Type in homemade mouse trap.
The mosquitoes in Eastbourne, on the southeast corner of England's coast, are getting bigger and meaner. One of them had tattoos and a knuckle duster !
+Ivor Biggun Wow. Time to use the mint spray that I made and shared.
William Quinn Thanks.
Impressive, but our flies have landing gear and running lights. Some require clearance before landing..
ohger1 God's holy trousers !
cool, maybe the dog crap is good for crabbin too. sure does like to say "warter" alot. waaah ter..... whorter worter werter wartar wharter.
worter you talking about?
Why don't they escape through the other hole, are they kind of dumb?
they are not smart enough. Take a look at me newest fly trap.
can you feed these dead flies to chickens?
3 weeks is too long time
Why add a hole in the side when you can just leave the original top off and lay it on it's side. You should add about three drops of dish soap to break the surface tension of the water. When finished with it put the top on and toss it.
I explained this within the video. Flies enter from the side and want to leave via the top.
Someone should tell all these people making videos of them fly traps with plastic bottles sugar, water and yeast with the top put in up-side down they're doing it all wrong. I never knew that fly's was so smart, and these people so dumb in knowing nothing about how to catch them. Even myself didn't know a fly goes in the front door and looks for a back door! I feel so stupid! Thank you for sharing your intelligence with me!
Two words on placing these traps. Down Wind
Not at all. No smell because I placed it 6 feet up.
William Quinn My nose is at 6 feet so IDK if that would work for me. I was thinking of years ago, I had to kill a swarm of bees lodged in my house siding. Let a shop vac run for 3 days and nights where they were emerging to suck them all up. I dumped the bees in a pile in the backyard and the smell was brutal. So bad. Also as a kid my parents had beetle traps around their garden. So Im well aware that lots of dead insects together are just as bad as a dead animal in terms of stench. Glad it works out for you.
Nice.
Ok need how to get them out of the house
Venus Flytrap
@@billyq12001 what's a fly trap?
???? Something that catches and traps flies.
*Wooter*
Dawg doo doo

+Roberto Chua kee Why?
Chicken for me cause shit ain't doing it for me!!😷😷😷
That is pre-tty cool indeed! No cost, effective. haha Dog poop thief, learn of something new everyday. :P
Be sure to change it out every 30 days. The milk jug decays.
