| Dreaminofmygardens, you didn't put any dish soap in the jar? That would be the first I've heard that used ACV and no dish soap for fly control. |

I have been so vexed with these pests lately and I found this idea yesterday and put up two jar systems to test it out. drumroll please*****immediate success!!!!*********** Oh my, I had NO idea there were that many of these flies in my kitchen! I used the apple cider, one drop of dish detergent added, plus a small piece of ripe watermelon, and the paper cone method. There are so many dead flies in the two jelly jars that I am going to clean them out and put fresh ingredients in both jars today and see what happens. This system is amazingly simple and effective. And this farmgirl is so HAPPY!!!

My friend tried white vinegar and found it didn't work, but brandy did. She caught 27 flies in 10 minutes. Expensive, but effective.

| Michele, you need to put a drop of dish soap in the apple cider vinegar. Once they hit that mixture they can't get out and soon you will now how to get rid of flies. |
