I’m a country girl – my two-ingredient solution traps flies instantly, I don’t know why it works so well but it does
THERE’S nothing more annoying than pesky flies when you’re trying to enjoy a summer barbeque.
A TikTok user has shared her two-ingredient DIY fly trap and even she is shocked by how well it works.
In her video, the self-described DIY queen (@southernescape) advised her followers to “trust the process.”
She explained: “I know this is country as s**t girl but you’ve got to try it.”
The content creator showed her followers how she uses hotdogs and syrup to catch insects.
“So you’re going to start out by grabbing a jar of something you have in the back of the fridge that you don’t even want anymore,” the country girl said as she picked a jar of pickles.
After cleaning out the jar, she demonstrated to her followers how to drill holes into the lid of the jar.
Adding the hotdogs and syrup, the TikToker told viewers: “I don’t know why this concoction works so dang well but it does.”
She continued: “You’re going to set it out and you’re going to catch all the flies.”
The influencer recommended using the DIY trap near campsites, grills, and any other outdoor areas where you plan to spend time.
Showing her followers a closeup of the concoction, she said: “It looks ugly but it works.”
The DIY expert concluded: “Flies have nothing but the audacity. You got the whole mother effing world and you want to buzz in my face, no I don’t think so.”
TikTok users took to the comments section to share their thoughts on the hack.
“I’ve been doing this since you posted it last year and it DOES work!!!!!!” wrote one viewer.
Another follower said: “Definitely doing this! These flies in south Mississippi are driving me CRAZY!!”
“Doing this stat, my brain believes this is the answer I’ve been searching for. I think this is genius,” commented a third person.
