The funnel method
Slice up some squishy peaches, blackened bananas, or any super ripe or rotting fruit. You can also use honey, maple syrup, or any fruit juice or sugary soda, and pour it into the glass up to about 2 fingers tall. Next, roll a piece of paper and create a funnel shape, then put it on top of the vase or glass. Place this bait on the fly-infested area and leave it overnight.

The bowl method
Place a ripe or rotten fruit inside a medium or large bowl, then pour in some sweet liquids like soda or syrup until it’s about 2 fingers high. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, then poke holes around the top of the wrap, and leave it on the fly-infested area overnight.
The freezer swap
Take 2 medium-sized jars and fill them with fruit rinds and peels, then cover the jar with a plastic wrap, and poke a small hole in the middle of the plastic with a toothpick. Leave it in the fly-infested area overnight and you’ll see it filled with trapped flies.
