    I hate flies. What is the best fly trap?

    I have some of the glue strips you used to see in restaurants that hang from the ceiling and get covered with flies. But, I cant just let it flop around in the breeze with the breeze. It will stick to the roof of my cab.

    Any suggestions on how to best catch and kill flies?

    If you have files, then clean the truck out.

    Stick a metal washer, or anything heavy to the bottom of the fly paper. Or roll over the ends of the fly paper and stick them to a cabinet or the ceiling liner. The fly paper will look like a belt loop on the cabinet or ceiling liner.

    Loves used to have fly traps all around the parking area. Haven’t been to many loves lately but I always appreciated them making an effort.

    Was thinking of something like this but I dont want to make a pendulum. Now I’m thinking of putting the strip in a box or something. These strips are pretty nasty with the glue getting all over everything.
