What you need:

• Apple Cider Vinegar (You can also use lime juice)
• Glass or jar
• Sheet of paper or cardboard

How-to:

• Find a mason jar with a narrow mouth. Any jar will do, but avoid wide-mouthed pieces so you won’t have a hard time positioning the funnel.
• Roll the sheet of paper into a cone or funnel, leaving a half-inch opening at the bottom. Make sure it fits well.
• Remove the funnel and add around 20ml of apple cider vinegar into the jar.
• Return the funnel and wait for the flies to start swooping in. The scent of vinegar is a hypnotic to most critters and will keep them from flying out of the jar.
• Throw out the contents of the jar in the garbage. Repeat the process when necessary.
