HOMEMADE MOSQUITO TRAP

Have you noticed the Mosquitoes are already out! 
Here is a homemade trap to help keep you and the kid from being, a blood donor!!!

Items needed:  

- 1 cup of water

- 1/4 cup of brown sugar

- 1 gram of yeast

- 1 2-liter bottle

Direction:

- Cut the plastic bottle in half.

- Mix brown sugar with hot water. Let cool. When cold, pour in the bottom half of the bottle.

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

- Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle, taping them together if desired.

- 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. Or put out new one.
