 * 3) Invert the top onto the bottom part of the bottle.
 * 4) On opposite sides of the container, punch holes using the hole punch.
 * 5) Lace 60cm of string through the holes and lie with a secure knot to create a hanger.

Trapping Flies

 * To add bait, slide the top up the string and drop in the bait. If your bait is runny, place a piece of paper (or wire screen) under the bait so that insects do not drown.

To protect the flies from heat stree, place the trap in a sheded area. Depending on the weather/season the bait and the amount of time the trap is left outside, the trap may attract other insects.
