Duct Tape Hack: Make A DIY Fly Sticky Tape

Haven’t gotten a chance to buy some packs of sticky fly tape at the store? No problem! You have duct tape at home. Take your desired length of duct tape and double it back on itself to create a double-sided piece of sticky tape.

Then, simply hang a string or tack from the rafters or ceiling in your garage, barn, or wherever else flies have been invading your space. They’ll get stuck to the tape, and you can dispose of it when it’s full.

This strategy is much more affordable and far less messy than buying those premade versions.
