The dad, who describes himself as a ‘home hack DIY guy’, explained how easy it is to get rid of annoying visitors once and for all – with just two ingredients
In the clip, which has been viewed more than 3.8 million times so far, John began: “If you guys want to keep all the flies out of your house this summer, stick with me…”
‘Today I’m going to teach you how to create a solution that you can place outside your door, for example on the sidewalk or even in a factory right in front of your door.
“It should attract the flies to go there, rather than coming into your house in the first place.”
‘All you need is some water and some sugar.’
He continued, “So what you’re going to do is make a solution that is two parts water and one part sugar.”
The creator of the content then poured the ingredients into a bowl and stirred them together with a spoon before placing it outside his home.
“The sugar you just put in will attract them,” John said.
‘And once they end up in the water, they can’t rise again and they will die there.
“So that should prevent them from coming in at all [your home] in the first place.’
Dozens of viewers flocked to the comments section to thank John for his fascinating DIY solution, which some labeled the ‘best ever’
