FLY TRAP BAIT
The bait comes packaged as a medium-size plastic bag filled with yeast (tan
granules) inside which is a much smaller bag containing the catalyst, ammonium
carbonate (white powder).
To prepare the bait, pour the yeast and and its catalyst into a plastic gallon
jug (a plastic milk jug, for example). Add 1/2 gallon of warm water, cap and
shake lightly to mix. Leave the cap loose for 7 days, which allows the brew to
breathe. Store in a cool, dry, shady or dark place. After 7 days, add enough
warm water to nearly fill the container and shake thoroughly.
If you wish to use a substitute bait in the interim, mix together one beaten egg
and a 12-ounce can of soda or beer. Pour the mixture into the bait bowl until it
is about 1/4 full. Once the yeast bait is ripe, you can add it to the substitute
bait by pouring it through the trap lid, through the inverted cone, and into the
bowl, Don't be concerned if you spill some bait on the ground. For best results,
add one tablespoon of bait to the bowl every day or every other day. One gallon
of bait lasts about 4-6 weeks when used regularly.
Because dry yeast has a limited shelf life, mix your bait as soon as you receive
it, even if you might not be using it immediately. Store the mixture in a cool,
dry, dark place. It gets better with age.
