Just put a bowl out and fill it with some vinegar and about 2 drops of dish soap

[capman911]

@camboy1132 I use a cheap red wine mixed with a few drops of dish washing liquid in a small bowl filled about half way full of wine. The soap causes the wine"s cohesiveness or surface tension to be broken down so the fly goes in for a drink, but instead of floating on top of the wine the soap will cause it to sink and die. I have collected as many as 30 in a bowl in one day. After a few days your fly free.
