🪰 Fruit Fly Trap Bottle Cap – Fits Standard PET Bottles

Tired of fruit flies in your kitchen? This simple 3D-printed bottle cap turns any standard PET soda bottle into an effective fruit fly trap in seconds .

Just screw the cap onto an empty bottle with a small amount of attractant inside. The flies are attracted by the smell, enter through the openings, and have difficulty escaping.

It’s cheap, reusable, and easy to print .

🍎 How to Use

- Take a standard PET soda bottle . - Add the attractant mixture: - A little apple cider vinegar - A splash of sweet juice - A few drops of dish soap - Screw the fruit fly trap cap onto the bottle. - Place the trap where fruit flies are present. The dish soap breaks the surface tension , so the flies sink instead of escaping.

✨ Features
