Starbar Milk Jugg Fly Trap

Starbar Milk Jugg Fly Trap, manufactured by Starbar Products, is an inexpensive, reusable fly control system designed to work with any clean, empty plastic milk jug. It consists of a specially designed trap top and a packet of water‑soluble fly attractant that turns any milk jug into an effective fly trap.

You simply cut openings into the sides of an empty milk jug, attach the trap top, and add the attractant with water. The lure draws in house flies, blow flies, and other common nuisance flies. Once they enter the jug, they can’t escape and eventually drown in the liquid.

Starbar Milk Jugg Fly Trap is an affordable and eco-friendly fly trap system that transforms ordinary plastic milk jugs into highly effective, escape-proof fly traps using a powerful attractant and snap-on lid design. You’re reusing a milk jug you’d normally throw away. That means less waste and lower costs compared to buying large, pre‑made traps.

Tools Needed

You will need a milk jug, scissors, and a knife.

How To Use

• Step 1: Rinse out the milk jug thoroughly to remove any leftover residue.
• Step 2: Using scissors or a utility knife, cut four holes (about the size of a quarter) halfway up the sides of the jug. These are the entry points for flies.
• Step 3: Open the Starbar attractant packet and pour it into the jug. Add enough water to fill the jug about halfway (follow package directions for exact fill).
• Step 4: Place the Starbar trap top over the jug’s opening, making sure it’s secure. This helps funnel flies in and prevents them from escaping.
• Step 5: Hang or set the trap in a sunny location about 10 to 30 feet away from animal housing, patios, or food areas. This lures flies away from where you and your animals spend time.
• Step 6: Check the trap weekly.
