The Mosquito Trap Everyone’s Talking About: Safe, Cheap, and Effective

Prepare the Bottle: Cut the plastic bottle in half. Keep both parts.

Make the Sugar Mixture: Dissolve the sugar in warm water. Let it cool to room temperature.

Add the Yeast: Pour the yeast into the sugar water. No need to stir—yeast produces carbon dioxide that attracts mosquitoes.

Assemble the Trap: Invert the top half of the bottle (like a funnel) and place it into the bottom half. Make sure there’s a small gap between the liquid and the funnel. Tape the edges if necessary.

Position the Trap: Place the trap in mosquito-prone areas like near windows, corners, or patios. Avoid placing it where children or pets can easily reach.

Maintenance: Replace the sugar water mixture every 2 weeks or when it looks full of trapped mosquitoes.
