Sweet pickle fly trap!
1. Buy a jar of sweet pickles.
2. Eat the pickles and save the juice.
3. Make four holes in the lid using a Phillips head screwdriver and a hammer. The holes should be big enough for flies to enter.
4. Place the jar where you want to catch flies and wait two days for results.

Tip: Dill pickles won't work; it must be sweet pickles to attract the flies. You can use a mix of apple cider vinegar, water, and sugar, but the sweet pickle brine is easier and a great way to repurpose it during BBQ season.
