- Sugar (four tablespoons or more)
- Yeast (10 or up to 30 grams)
- Self Adherent Tape (preferably black)
- A piece of medium-sized cloth (black color)
Cut the bottle at least four fingers in half, keep the top, it will be useful for the operation of the trap.
Heat some tap water, wait for it to boil, reduce the intensity of the fire, add the four tablespoons of sugar, stir, let it cool. Once at room temperature add the yeast.
Place the black cloth inside the bottle as an inner lining, without a lid and with the top side facing up, leave the part of the bottle outlet inside the container and the fabric.
You will have an infallible trap to scare away flies easily quickly and without spending money on it, add the water with the sugar and yeast inside the bottle.
This trap works by deceiving the insect with two things that it likes a lot, the carbon dioxide we expel and the darkness, the carbon dioxide would be released by the yeast in very small amounts.
Change the water every week, you must renew the emanations of dioxide from time to time. This trap is quite effective. Repeat the procedure every one or two weeks.
