Using This Apple Cider Vinegar Mix from @thekitchn/Pinterest, Drive Away Flies
It doesn't follow that a natural solution will always be less effective. Combine a quarter-cup sugar, a tablespoon molasses, a half-cup apple cider vinegar, and a cup of water to get rid of bothersome flies. Fill open containers with this mixture, then arrange the containers around your yard. The sugar will draw the flies in, but the viscous, sticky solution will keep them there permanently.
