Ot/ Mosquito trap you make yourself ~

[Guest guest]

Materials Needed:

*Large soda bottle

*50 gram brown sugar (5 grams = 1 tsp)

*1 gram live yeast

*Thermometer

*Measuring bottle/cup

*200ml hot water

*Scissors/ cutting knife

*Newspaper

*Sticky tape

1. First you must cut the top of the bottle (try to measure it so it would fit

upside down inside the bottle)

2. Mix/dilute the 200ml hot water in the measuring cup/bottle with the 50gram

brown sugar. Before adding the Yeast, make sure that the water is warm and will

not exceed 40 degrees Celsius (use the Thermometer). Otherwise it might kill the

Yeast. What I did was to blow on it (it was easy because 200ml was less than a

cup of water) then tested the water 5 times.

3. When you reach the desired temperature you can now add in the Yeast (no need

to mix/stir). Then pour the solution inside the plastic bottle. Cover it with

the top (upside down).

*** When yeast ferments, it will create Carbon Dioxide that will attract

mosquitoes.

Carbon dioxide will be released from the small opening of the bottle. Mosquitoes

will enter and get trapped inside and hopefully drown in the sticky substance.

4. Mosquitoes love dark places, so it would be best to cover the bottle with any

dark colored paper. If you don't have black you can use two layers of news paper

just like what I did. Then place the trap somewhere dark like the corners of

your house.

*** You'll have to replace the liquid solution/formula every 2 weeks. Hopefully,

Ants won't infest it.

Good luck and keep safe.
