After visiting a big hardware store and seeing the fly catcher bottles, I thought I could make my own instead of spending $14.

Sugar, apple cider vinegar and a drop of dishwashing soap was all I needed.

Cut the top of a soft drink bottle, put the liquid inside and put the top upside down into the drink bottle.

I made a hole in the bottle and hooked it onto the fence, an hour later there was already a fly in it so it’s definitely working!

It’s a very good way to reuse plastic bottles. The liquid won’t keep all of them away but it will get rid of some of them. Being surrounded by farms, cows and horses is great but the flies are a nuisance so I had to do something and this seems to make a bit of a difference so I’ll keep you posted.
