Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is this safe for pets and kids?
A: Yes — but keep the jars out of reach, as essential oils should not be ingested or spilled.
Q: Can I use white vinegar instead of apple cider vinegar?
A: Apple cider vinegar is more attractive to flies due to its fruity aroma, but white vinegar can work in a pinch — though less effectively.
Q: Why add dish soap?
A: Dish soap breaks the surface tension of the liquid, making it harder for flies to escape once they land in the trap.
