How to make a trap for mosquitoes


Materials for the trap:
A 2 litre plastic soda bottle Scissors or craft knife Duct tape Black paper or other opaque material
How to make the mosquito bait liquid

Ingredients for the bait liquid:
2 cups of water 3/4 cup sugar 1 packet “active dry yeast” (about 2 teaspoons)Why does this mosquito trap work so well?
This trap uses the natural instincts of these airborne pests to draw them into a place they can’t escape. Mosquitoes are attracted by carbon dioxide, and the combination of yeast and sugar water releases this carbon dioxide. The key to these traps is to put more than one out and combine them with other control methods. So while your DIY mosquito trap will catch some bugs for you, always remember to also pour out any standing water, plant mosquito repellent plants like lavender, or burn citronella candles. These DIY traps are a great addition to a natural mosquito control arsenal.Other Posts
