Discover the $12 miracle fly trap from Bunnings that shoppers can't get enough of!

As summertime brings hot weather, it also ushers in an annoying household pest—flies! These pesky insects can quickly multiply into infestations around your home.
Not only are flies a nuisance as they buzz around your kitchen, they also spread diseases by carrying pathogens on their bodies.
Protecting your family from flies should be a top priority. While spraying chemical insecticides can temporarily reduce flies, a more effective and environmentally safe solution is luring the flies into traps.
Bunnings shoppers have recently discovered the Envirosafe Fly Trap—an $11.59 bottle that attracts flies to a non-toxic bait.
Customers have been raving about the results, with the green liquid bait working 'ridiculously well' to fill the bottle with dead flies in days.
So how does this miracle fly catcher work its magic? The trap contains a powdered bait activated when water is added, turning into an irresistible green liquid that lures flies in.
Once inside, the flies become trapped and meet their demise. No zapping, swatting or toxic sprays required!
The reviews speak for themselves, with happy customers reporting:
'Best $12 I've ever spent. Doesn't catch 100 per cent of flies but definitely catches 80-85 per cent. Huge game-changer.'
'Absolutely full of flies of all kinds, and our nearby deck has none to be seen.'
'I’ve noticed less flies gathering around doors and windows while cooking so I'm definitely happy.'
While the trap is effective, some users caution that it does create an unpleasant smell once full of dead flies. The solution is to place it a few metres from your living areas.
Replacing the bait mixture weekly also keeps the fly carcasses from accumulating.
Of course, a full bottle of dead pests, while satisfying, may not be everyone's cup of tea. Some homeowners opt to make their own natural fly traps as an alternative.
Combining apple cider vinegar and a drop of dish soap and placing it in an open jar can offer similar results without the mess. The vinegar tempts the flies in, while the dish soap breaks the surface tension causing them to drown.
If you want to take things up a notch, get a soft drink bottle and cut its conical top off. Pour the apple cider solution inside the bottle’s body and place the cone upside down after. The resulting setup forms an easy way in for flies and a difficult way out.
Whether you choose the ready-made Envirosafe trap or DIY method, removing flies at the source is the smartest long term solution.
Fewer flies means less risk of bacteria, food contamination and annoyance around your home. And achieving victory over these winged pests brings satisfaction like no other!
