Tennessee’s John Brown took to TikTok to share his trick for keeping flies out of his house this summer using just two household ingredients.
The dad, who describes himself as a do-it-yourselfer, explained how simple it is to get rid of the pesky visitors once and for all, using just two ingredients.
In the clip, which has so far been viewed more than 3.8 million times, John began: “If you want to keep all the flies out of your house this summer, stay with me…
‘Today I will teach you how to make a solution that you can place outside your door, such as on the threshold or even on a plant right outside your door.
‘It should attract the flies to go there instead of coming into your house in the first place.
“All you’re going to need is a little water and a little sugar.”
He continued, “So what you’re going to do is make a solution that’s two parts water and one part sugar.”
The content creator then poured the ingredients into a bowl and stirred them with a spoon before placing it outside his house.
“The sugar you just put there is going to be what attracts them,” John said.
‘And then once they land in the water, they won’t be able to take off and they will die there.
“So that should stop them from breaking into (your house) in the first place.”
Dozens of viewers took to the comments section to thank John for his fascinating DIY solution, with one calling it “the best thing ever.”
