You can make an inexpensive and effective, non-chemical Flypaper at home to catch those pesky flies, just using a common pantry item, golden syrup. If you cannot get golden syrup, trial with other sticky syrups in your pantry.
Mix together equal volume parts of sugar, water and golden syrup in a saucepan.
Place on the heat and bring to the boil. Stir continuously until it thickens. Take care not to overheat the mixture. Don't let it smoke.
Leave the mixture to cool.
Cut long strips of packing tape. Dip these into the mixture.
Hang over a wire cooling rack with newspaper underneath (to catch the drips). Leave to dry.
Hole punch a hole and attach some string at the top for hanging.
Hang the flypaper over windows and near doorways to trap the flies.
Change regularly as the sticky syrup will attract a gooey mass of flies.
