Does Soapy Water Get Rid Of Flies?
Yes, soapy water can get rid of flies. Flies have a hydrophobic outer layer that makes it difficult for them to survive in soapy water. When flies come in contact with soapy water, the soap breaks down the outer layer of their bodies, making it impossible for them to fly, and they drown in the water. A mixture of 2 tablespoons of dish soap in a gallon of warm water can be used as a fly trap to help eliminate flies.
