Description

please give me a πŸ‘πŸ» if you like this, even if you don't download this, it’ll help more people discover this. thanks so much!

 

Tested for 3+ months. You need this in your kitchen if you have fresh fruits and veggie in your house all yearπŸ‡πŸˆπŸ‰πŸŠπŸŒπŸŽπŸπŸ‘πŸ“πŸ…

 

Gotta get rid of these uninvited guests before the real ones arrive! Get some sticky trap and use my template to cut it to the perfect size.

 

These lids are a perfect fit for Ball and Kern mason jars, screws on like a dream πŸ˜‰ Regular and wide versions available. Follow my instructions to make this simple, yet effective fruit fly termination system.

Use the sticky trap template to get the perfect cut. Put Apple Cider vinegar and a drop of dish soap in the jar and screw it on and wait for it to do its magic. Some of those little guys thought they were smart, didn't even make it in the jar.

Turn this into the Ultimate fruit fly trap by adding a small piece (40x33mm, template included so you don't have to measure) of double sided yellow sticky trap (it's a 20 pack, but 1 sheet will last you a long time) to the small slots in the funnel.

 

Recommended to print lid in Yellow, studies found that fruit flies are more attracted to the color yellow.

 

I don't see any fruit flies flying around during the day but the trap keeps on getting fuller. Also available is the funnel only, usable with your own ring lids.

 

Put fruits in your jars if you want to keep these flies as pets, otherwise use vinegar and a drop of soap to send them to Valhalla.

Printer both, even though I do not have these "Ball and Kern mason jars" for the right one. Ordered the double side tape, will let you know how things go!

I've tried a bunch of variations on the "jar with fruit/apple cider vinear" traps, and this is the first one that's actually worked!

Other Issues:Failed to function. So far hasn't caught any flies even with the fly paper. I suspect more holes are needed to better vent the bait (apple cider vinegar).

this is for fruit flies, not regular flies

Replying to @NUKDDD :
By "flies" I meant fruit flies. Still haven't caught any even though they are buzzing around.

Replying to @MarcoPaulo :
I see, but did the part printed fine though? I can make the holes and slots bigger for sure, but it’s working for me as you can see in my photos. Apple cider vinegars are made differently between manufacturers, some are simply not pungent enough.
