If you have flies you will appreciate these. When I went to the feed store to look at flycatchers we were surprised at the price. 8.99 and up. I bought two. They are half-gallon plastic jars with screw on lids that have holes in them. A terrible smelling liquid comes with it. You fill the jar up half full with water add the liquid and hang. They worked wonderfully. My husband wanted me to buy more. When I told him how much they were he looked for alternatives. We goggled and found a 2-liter soda bottle version. I will show you step by step how to make one.
Fly Catcher
1 cup water
¼ cup sugar
2 liter soda bottle
Pair of scissors
Sharp knife
Black electrical tape
String
Cut top off bottle, just over label making a nice funnel using scissors
Remove label and lid
Place created funnel in soda bottle and tape all around the sharp edges
Step 4
Punch 2 holes on opposite sides thru black tape using sharp knife
Push string thru holes and tie
Step 6
Mix ¼ cup sugar with 1-cup water and pour in new flycatcher
You are finish now go and hang it up and watch the sorry little pests get stuck in your free flycatcher.
