Wrap the bottle in dark paper or cloth, leaving the top open.
Place the trap in a quiet corner of your room, porch, or near entryways, away from areas where the family usually sits.
Extra Tips from Tradition
Replace the mixture every two weeks for best results.
Use multiple traps in larger spaces, such as near windows or doors.
Keep surroundings tidy—mosquitoes avoid areas without stagnant water.
Some families place basil, lemongrass, or citronella nearby to enhance the effect.
