DIY Fly Paper

This recipe is a simple way to make your own fly paper.  It's a good weekend project and something even the kids can get involved with!

All you need is:
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
1 tablespoon of granulated sugar
1/4 cup of maple syrup
1 brown paper bag cut into strips (8 in x 2 in)

Mix the ingredients together and coat the paper strips evenly and thoroughly with it.  Leave the strips on a cookie sheet or some wax paper until they are dry.  You can come up with many ways to hang them.  Try using a clothes pin to grasp the paper and some string to hang it from.  Hang them where they are needed. Use these right away, or store them in an air tight container because they will also attract ants!
