My family and I have a compost bucket that we take out daily, in addition to a diaper genie, that for whatever gross reason they are also attracted too. We already take both out on a daily basis, so we needed something more.
I then turned to good old Pinterest for some solutions. I needed something kid/indoor friendly. I don't want to spend money on poison, because we have two young children in the house, and our problem isn't that bad. We just needed a little "oomph" to help us out. This is what I found:
Put 1/2 cup of apple cider, mixed with a couple drops of dish soap in a bowl. Mix well, sit back, and watch the flies drown.
I guess our fly issue wasn't as bad as this bloggers, because although it DID work, it took almost 48 hours to catch ten! So they aren't immediately attracted to the scent, but like I said, it does work. Plus ten dead flies are better than ten flies flying around our kitchen!
Ick!
Here's the link to the blog I researched:
