Place the paper circle on top of the glass, making sure that it is firm but that the center hole is free.
Where to place it?
Place the trap in a corner of the kitchen, near the window or where you have noticed the presence of flies. The sweet smell of sugar and margarine will attract them, but when you try to land on the mixture, the soap will break the tension of the water and they won’t be able to get out.
Why does it work?
This trap works by a combination of attraction and deception:
- The sweet smell acts as a decoy.
- The soap reduces the surface tension of the water, so the flies can’t stay afloat and end up trapped.
A natural, economical and surprisingly effective solution. Ideal for keeping your home fly-free without putting your pets, children or the environment at risk.
