I have been experimenting with the Malbec Houdini Fly trap since it came up on this subreddit:
Originally I had the trap fixed with a hook and wire to wall of my house; beside, behind, and under the Mason Bee hotel. I didn’t have great results in the couple weeks I had it mounted in that fashion.
Yesterday, I fixed the trap onto the house itself, per the tip from u/crownbees. Although the distance hadn’t much changed, the trap being physically attached seemed to be the secret sauce. The trap started catching the flies rather quickly after the change, and has continued to produce good results.
I’ve included the bottle of Argentinian Malbec I’ve used for reference. It was the cheapest bottle, on sale, at my local store.
