The pesky little critters are enormous around here. Reminding us of the movie Jurassic park.. Now what to do with them.. Boy.. Well we decided to make a fine and easy trap to catch them.
Taking an old Soda bottle.We prefer the two liter Coke Bottle.
At the top just before the top starts to narrow you take a scissors and cut around the bottle. This is the funnel.
turn this so it is inverted into the bottle. Paint the bottle black
take 1/2 cup of brown sugar
to 2 cups of water
mix the two together at room temperature add one package of baker's yeast
pour this into the coke bottle put the funnel in the top and tape around it set in a spot secluded away from where you sit the sugar and yeast and water mix will produce co2 mosquito's are attracted to co2 and will fly into the bottle. replace every week to two weeks.
I will make and show you a more permanent trap in the near future but this one will get you started in mosquito control for now.
