Might be wrong kind of bait for the flies, syrupy stuff is good for fruit flies , you may have a totally different variety.
flies seem to like poo, or dead things - try those
This is what you need, 'I pity the fly'
You've made a wasp trap.
Have you put some yeast in? That helps apparently
The "zero calorie" on the side of the bottle might be a clue. Why would a fly bother with something that contained no sugar ?
Do you think that salt gun would take down a wasp ?
You need a venus fly trap and/or any other type of carnivorous plant. Just add water and let nature take its course.
I would have a look on Maplins for a UV insect zapper. I picked one up for £20 last year. Well worth it. Snap, crackle, pop.
Anyone for Eccles cake?
I have a cheap UV fly killer from Lidl. It's killed about 3 flies in as many years. What you need are spiders.
