DIY Fly, Wasp, & Hornet Trap

DIY Fly, Wasp & Hornet Trap

When it comes to dealing with flies, wasps, and hornets, there’s no shortage of products on the market. But if you need multiple traps around your home—and constant refills throughout the season—those “easy” solutions can quickly become expensive.

Instead, choose a smarter, more affordable approach.

With Fatal Funnel, you can create powerful DIY fly, wasp, and hornet traps at home—using simple materials you already have.

How to Make a Fly Trap from an Empty Soda Bottle

Fatal Funnel traps are designed to be simple, effective, and incredibly cost-efficient. To get started, all you need is a standard 2-liter plastic bottle, a knife, and a few common household ingredients.

Using a DIY attractant recipe (typically a mix of water, sugar, fruit juice, and sometimes small bits of meat), create your bait solution. Pour the mixture into the bottle until it’s about one-third to halfway full.

Next, carefully cut a two-inch cross-shaped slit into the side of the bottle. Insert the Fatal Funnel into the opening, twist to secure it, and you’re ready to go.

The sweet scent attracts flies, wasps, and hornets into the bottle. Once they enter through the funnel, they can’t escape—and eventually drown in the liquid.

Why Use a DIY Fly & Wasp Trap

Pre-made insect traps and sprays may seem like the easiest option—but most require similar setup and ongoing maintenance, often at a much higher cost.
