I had a really bad fly problem that started a couple weeks ago, it was driving us nuts. My wonderful wife did a bit or research, bless her heart, I hate research. Anyway I hung this in my run and the fly problem is way down!! I also put a couple of fly strips in the coop to help out. This trap is the second trap I put out, I just threw the other one in the trash, it had about an inch to 2 inches worth of fly bodies that it caught in just 1 week!
Here's how it's made. Take a 2 liter plastic soda bottle and cut the top off just above the label, take the cap off and discard. Put a small piece of raw meat, "hamburg, chicken liver or pork of some kind ", about an ounce or two and put it in the bottle and cover it with water. Then take the top of the bottle and turn it upside down and put it on the bottle, Take some shipping tape and tape the top to the bottle. Then cut two small holes on each side of the the bottle and top and put a wire of some type to it so it will hang like a picture on a wall, hang it in the run in full sun, you'll find that in a couple days you will start to collect flies, many flies!! it works great!!
Flys can get in but can't get out!
