The average temperature in our town ranges from 16–23 °C (61–77 °F) throughout the year. We keep our doors and windows wide open, but during the rainy season, flying insects come in along with the wonderful breeze.
I love life hacks especially when they solve a problem with common, on-hand supplies. Mandy scoured the Internet, and we tried so many variations of bug traps to handle our insect nuisance.
We finally struck upon the following cocktail using our red table wine.
- Grab a wide-mouth wine glass.
- Put in enough wine to cover the bottom of the glass.
- Add a few drops of liquid dish soap preferably with a lemon scent.
- Turn on the tap at the sink to make a fast stream of warm water.
- Fill the glass until the bubbles rise just to the rim forming a foamy mound.
- Set out one or many traps in the area needing attention.
- When the foam dissipates, add more water to re-foam the trap.
We successfully ensnare house flies, fruit flies, and a few other flying insects whose names escape my vast entomological knowledge. Happy hunting.

Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
