Take an empty clear small-mouthed bottle, like a soda bottle - 12 oz. or
so. Or use a wide-mouthed bottle with a small hole in the lid. Add some
water (maybe a half a cup) and enough sugar to well sweeten it. The flies
will enter the bottle but usually cannot find their way out. The more
flies in the bottle - dead or alive - the more it seems to attract
others.
