Summer is right around the corner and you know what that means – MOSQUITOS. Here is a simple way to rid yourself of the problem with mosquito traps that really work.

You Will Need:

• Bag of Brown Sugar
• Jar of Yeast
• Knife

4. Pour Hot Water in Bottle

Pour 400 ml (approx 1 3/4 cup) of very hot water. Let cool.

5. Add Yeast

Add the yeast. No need to mix. It creates carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes.

6. Add a Pinch of Yeast to Mixture

You will only need a pinch or two. Pinch the yeast between your fingers and add to the mixture.

You do not need to stir it. Let it sit for a while.

7. Place Bottle Top Upside Down

Once you're done, place the bottle top upside down facing the mixture. The liquid will attract the mosquitoes and will fly into the opening.

The mosquitoes will be trapped inside the bottle and most likely won't be able to escape.
