Fly Trap
A simple and effective trap for catching fruit flies and common flies can also be made using ordinary vinegar. To do this, you will need a plastic bottle, the top of which must be cut off.
Pour half a glass of vinegar into the bottle, add 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 tablespoon of dishwashing detergent. The mixture is thoroughly mixed.
Close the top with the cut-off top of the bottle, turning it over and unscrewing the cap. It is into the hole, previously closed with a lid, that insects will be trapped. The result will not take long to arrive. Flies that get into the bottle through the neck can no longer escape from the trap.
They die in a vinegar-soap solution.
