A Lazy Yet Effective Homemade Fly Trap

After the months and months of over 105F and no rain. We got 2″, and flies. Flies are freakin everywhere! Thick swarms, so I had to do something.

I tried various recipes for traps and repellents. The Lavender worked a bit, but still my home was invaded. This one trap worked the best out of all that I tried.

1 quart jar, with lid
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Water

Puncture some medium holes in the lid. Add the sugar and vinegar, then top with water. Screw on lid and place jar where the flies are a nuisance.

On a side note, Large dyed his own hair, blue this time. And as you can see in the picture above, I will never ever allow him to dye it on his own again. Quick tip, olive oil soaked qtips or cotton balls will scrub off hair dye on your skin.

And a HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEDIUM! He turns 11 today! No flies on his cake.
