    What worked for me is pretty simple and cheap:

    • a clear plastic container that you can poke small holes into the of,
    • a straight pick or equivalent to poke those holes,
    • common white vinegar ($5ish for a gallon,
    • dishwashing soap

    Poke holes evenly in the top of lid. Put a bit of vinegar in the container (e.g. a lidded condiment cup you can probably get from your supermarket, or a fast food drink cup), add a few drops of dishwashing liquid, put the lid on and put it where the flies are.

    That’s it. Scale the size of the container to the number of flies, and a clear container lets you easily see the amount of flies trapped, but doesn’t strictly need to be clear. Set up more traps if needed. Hope that helps.
