What You’ll Need:
- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 1 cup hot water
- 1 packet of dry yeast
- 1 empty 2-liter plastic bottle
Steps:
- Stir sugar and baking powder into hot water until completely dissolved.
- Add yeast to the mixture and let it sit until it starts to bubble—this means the yeast is activating.
- Cut the plastic bottle about one-third from the top.
- Pour the mixture into the bottom portion of the bottle.
- Flip the top of the bottle upside down and fit it into the bottom, forming a funnel.
- Place your trap near windows, doorways, or areas where mosquitoes are active.
Why It Works:
Yeast releases carbon dioxide, mimicking human breath. Mosquitoes are drawn in by this gas but can’t escape once inside the trap.
