It helps to add a drop of liquid dish detergent to the fluid of choice
in the fly traps. The soap eliminates the surface water tension so the
flies will sink instead of float <VBEG>. I use a little bit of cider
vinegar (they like that stuff, too) with a drop of liquid soap in a
ramekin. It's lot easier and works just as well as a funnel trap.
