Make An Indoor Fly Trap

Make an Indoor Fly Trap


Having a fly problem indoors is annoying and unsanitary. While there are many types of insect repellents, the chemicals in them are quite harsh and aren't recommended for indoor use. You can make your own fly trap that is safe to use indoors with a few very simple materials. Your project will not only be effective but cost friendly as well. You can hang the trap from the ceiling of the room or simply set it on a windowsill, counter, or shelf. Does this Spark an idea?


Instructions


1. Pierce a hole in an empty two-liter plastic bottle with a pair of scissors. The hole should be on the top portion of the bottle, where the curved section around the cap meets the cylindrical body of the bottle. Insert the scissors in the hole and cut away the top portion of the bottle, which is about two thirds of the way up from the bottom.


2. Set the portion of the bottle that you cut away upside down inside the remaining cylinder piece of bottle, with the cap pointing toward the bottom of the bottle. Secure with tape.


3. Pour some water into the bottle bottom through the opening at the top. The bottle should be about half full.


4. Coat the bowl shape on top of the trap that is over the cap with honey. Some of the honey will remain in the bowl and some will drip into the water. Set the trap wherever you'd like in your house to attract and contain flies.
