Yield 1 batch

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 cup water
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 tablespoon yeast

Steps:

  • Cut an empty plastic soda bottle in half.
  • Heat water to dissolve the sugar. Let cool and pour into bottom half.
  • Add yeast.
  • Place the top part of the bottle upside down into the other half of the bottle, forming a funnel; tape pieces together with black tape (the mosquitos are attracted to dark colors).
  • Leave the funnel top uncovered; place container outside and away from your normal gathering areas.
  • Mosquitoes are drawn to the carbon dioxide created by the yeast and dark color. Change the mixture every two weeks.
