    The document provides instructions for making homemade fly paper strips as an alternative to sticky yellow fly strips. The instructions call for cutting paper grocery bags into strips, punching holes to thread string through for hanging, and coating the strips in a mixture of sugar, honey or corn syrup, and water to make them sticky. Once coated, the strips are surprisingly sticky and effective at catching flies while being more attractive than store-bought yellow strips. The homemade version provides a cheaper and less unsightly option for trapping flies inside the home.
