Help! FLIES in apartment!

[Catty1]

I just remembered a fly-catching method my dad had when I was a kid and had frogs to feed.

First get a large glass container, wide-mouthed. I can't find a picture of it, but it's kind of like a goldfish bowl with flat sides so you can lie it on its side.

When it's on its side, put a small piece of meat - like a piece of stewing beef - at the back of the jar.

Put two strips of tape in a cross shape across the mouth of the jar.

The flies can get in, but they can't get out.

Hope you have success with those pesky things soon!

Oooh, Candace, does that ever sound like a good idea! Let me see what I can do to get those things together.
