Modern technology has brought us many benefits, including mosquito
traps that cost hundreds of dollars, but sometimes we overlook simple
solutions to difficult challenges such as mosquito control. When it
comes to controlling pests, research tends to focus on chemicals or
concepts that can be patented. Unless someone can make a profit from an
idea, the public may never become aware of it.
HOMEMADE MOSQUITO TRAP:
Items needed:
200 ml water
50 grams of brown sugar
1 gram of yeast
2-liter plastic bottle
Or US conversion:
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of brown sugar
HOW:
1. Cut the plastic bottle in half.
2. Mix brown sugar with hot water. Let cool. When cold, pour in the bottom half of the bottle.
3. Add the yeast. No need to mix. It creates carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes.
4. Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle, taping them together if desired.
5. Wrap the bottle with something black, leaving the top uncovered, and
place it outside in an area away from your normal gathering area.
(Mosquitoes are also drawn to the color black.)
Change the solution every 2 weeks for continuous control.
Exactly…!! We overlook such simple solutions to rid of mosquito menace and spend hundreds of dollars for buying commercial mosquito steps.
