Mosquito trap: it is foolproof

As we said, mosquitoes are very annoying and we have to live with the increase in temperature.  On this occasion we are not going to use the classic citronella repellent  , always very effective, but an equally valid alternative that you can make at home in a few minutes.

To create this mosquito trap you will need: sugar, water, yeast, plastic bottle, plastic bag and adhesive tape  . By mixing all these ingredients we will get a really effective mixture to fight mosquitoes and keep them away from our body.

First you will need to take the plastic bottle and cut it a few centimeters from where the cap is placed. After cutting it, place the part with the cap inside the bottom of the bottle.  Join the two parts of the bottle with adhesive tape to cover it.

Now start preparing the mosquito repellent mixture.  Take a cup of water and add 50 g of sugar and a tablespoon of yeast. Mix all the ingredients and pour the mixture into the bottle you have modified. Cover it with a dark cloth or a dark plastic bag and place it wherever you prefer.

The contact between the brewer’s yeast and the sugar present in the water creates a substance that attracts mosquitoes.  It is a chemical reaction that generates carbon dioxide. This is produced inside the bottle and rises through the funnel created to attract mosquitoes.

However, once mosquitoes enter the trap they will no longer be able to get out and, above all, reproduce.  This system is very effective but it must be changed frequently as the plastic of the bottles is very thin  . In fact, it is advisable to use a bottle more frequently and change it every 20 days or so.

If you want to discover another method to stop seeing mosquitoes at home,  here we wake you up with a very natural remedy  .
