Ive tried the dish soap method with so many different mixtures including apple cider vinegar, beer, etc but I swear after a while the flies smartened up and it stop working as well. The actual traps and sprays also stopped working as they were breeding faster than they were dying.

I bought 2 of those sticky fly sticks from raid and filled the cups with kombucha and the flies were completely gone 2 days later. Must’ve been 1000s of flies trapped in under 48 hours.

I’m guessing the fermented fruit and herbs combined with the added sugar was just irresistible.
