Homemade Traps
Creating simple traps can reduce pest populations:
- For Flies: Fill a jar with apple cider vinegar and a few drops of dish soap. Cover with plastic wrap, poke holes, and place it where flies are common. Flies enter, but can’t escape.
- For Mosquitoes: Mix hot water, yeast, and sugar in a bottle to attract and trap mosquitoes. The Kitchn
