Homemade flytrap?

Question

What do you put into a jam jar to make a homemade fly trap?

Answer 1

golden syrup or honey, with a small layer of cooking oil on top

Answer 2

Cut the top of a plastic soda/ water bottle off 2 - 3 inches below the neck. Mix strawberry jam and water and pour in bottom of the plastic bottle. Invert the top and staple or tape to the bottom of the plastic bottle. (Neck of top down inside the bottom.) Bugs go in, but because of their tiny little insectile minds they can't figure out how to get out of the home made trap.

Oh, don't eat the amanita muscaria, it is mildly poisonous and hallucenogenic.

Answer 3

These are all inhumane, try buying a humane trap from a garden centre. Of make a box with some holes in put a sugar cube in it, when you have caught the flies let them go.
