Flies can be pesky little creatures, buzzing around, landing on food and generally being annoying. Or they can be a topic of interest for some and even food for others. Whether you're catching flies for food, or just wanting to
, there are several effective methods you can try.
One of the most effective homemade fly traps is made using a simple plastic water bottle.
Unscrew and remove the cap, then use scissors to pierce the plastic and
the top quarter of the bottle.
Fill the bottom part of the bottle with a quarter cup (60 mL) of sugar, a quarter cup (60 mL) of water, and a couple of drops of blue food colouring. The blue colour helps to attract flies, but most colours or no colours will attract flies as long as it isn't yellow. Yellow is found to be the only repellent colour for flies.
Alternatively, a little water mixed with dish soap and a few drops of apple cider vinegar will also attract flies.
Take the top quarter of the bottle, turn it upside down and rest it on top of the other part of the bottle to form a funnel. The flies will be able to crawl into the bottle, but will find it much harder to find their way out.
The first step in catching a fly is to take your
and bend it into a cup shape.
Practice quickly shutting your fingertips against the heel of your hand.
Make sure to leave a hollow space inside, as this is where you will trap the fly.
Be careful. If you shut your hand too tightly, or make a fist, you will simply crush the fly. If you don't mind that the fly dies, then this won't be a problem.
Wait for the fly to land.
To catch a fly using this method you will need a cup, preferably a clear plastic one which you can see inside of and which will not break, and a sheet of paper or large index card.
The cup will trap the fly while the card helps to keep the cup closed and the fly from escaping.
Wait for the fly to land.
It will be much easier to catch the fly once it has landed on a stable surface, such as a table top, kitchen counter or window pane.
Move slowly towards the fly. Any sudden movements can set the fly off and you will have to wait for it to land again.
Place the cup over the fly.
