I’ve recently moved apartments and the architecture is such that lots of flies get trapped in a loop near my back sliding door. It’s sometimes dozens or more just spinning in a circle.
I was fortunate to get a unit with ample growing space and was hoping there’s some kind of flower or plant that flies will avoid before getting trapped in the doom spiral.
I can catch one of them in a safe bug net and take a picture if needed.
Thanks in advance


Sundew is natures flypaper. There are variants native to Northern Europe, California and Australia, so you should be able to find one that works for you
There is at least one sundew native to the PNW I recently learned, so that would work perfectly for OPs purposes, given the right soil and water
Thanks!
They’re also beautiful and cool, though they only work in summer/with lots of sun
