Get Rid of Flies Faster Than Ever! They Fly to This Like Crazy

Prepare the Trap Base:
Pour about 1/4 cup of apple cider vinegar or white vinegar into the bowl or jar. Flies are attracted to the smell of vinegar, especially apple cider vinegar, which mimics the scent of fermenting fruit.
Add a Sweet Bait (Optional):
For even more attraction, add a small piece of ripe fruit to the vinegar. Fruit flies and common houseflies are drawn to the scent of overripe or fermenting fruits.
Add Dish Soap:
Add a few drops of dish soap to the vinegar. The dish soap breaks the surface tension of the liquid, causing flies to sink and drown when they land on the surface.
Cover the Trap (Optional):
If you prefer, you can cover the bowl or jar with plastic wrap or a piece of paper with small holes poked in it. This allows the flies to enter but makes it harder for them to escape. However, this step is optional; the trap works effectively without it as well.
Place the Trap:
