Turning on lighting over a fish reservoir at night will attract insects and inevitably they fall in the water. Fish love it.

<p>It's sort of a gross process but these traps and non-toxic bait work like you wouldn't believe. I've fed the flies to chickens but not to fish yet. It comes with only one bait so you may as well buy more. I tried homemade bait only once and had no success. It starts off slowly but on the 3rd/4th day, the flies really swarm to it. Good luck.…</p>

I understand what you are trying to do but I think you all are playing with fire. Besides, anyone catching/ killing pollinators should be shot in my book! Use your brains people.

I know this is an old thread, but I'm new to the forum so I thought I'd add to it. I've read that you can make a fly trap by cutting small holes into a plastic soda bottle. Put some water in the bottom and something for bait. I've heard that cat food works, and so does fruit juice and commercial fly bait. The flies will fly in and drown. The dead flies will attract more flies and soon you have a whole bottle full of dead flies. I imagine you could just dump that straight into the fish…
