Sure, you can buy one of the stinky traps--just don't use the stinky. There's no reason why sweets wouldn't work. Sugar has a more attractive smell to flies than honey, so make up some simple syrup and swirl it around the inside of the trap.





Simple syrup: 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, over medium heat stir sugar and water together until the sugar dissolves. Simple.
