"Instead of flies going around the kitchen, they will be attracted to the saucer ... then they get stuck inside the mixture."
"Using a spray with apple cider vinegar and mint oil (other oils like citronella are also great to add) works to repel many insects like flies and gnats. I have found that for fruit flies, the saucer method is one of the best. But to repel house flies, using a spray is more effective for keeping them away."
Apple cider vinegar, produced from fermented apple juice, has a pungent, fruity aroma that attracts gnats, fruit flies, and filter flies. A small bowl of apple cider vinegar mixed with dish soap or liquid soap lures those small flies and causes them to become trapped in the mixture. House flies are not attracted to sweet scents; they breed in garbage, pet waste, manure, and decaying organic matter and are drawn to strong-smelling biological materials. A spray of apple cider vinegar blended with mint oil or citronella functions as an effective repellent for house flies.
