🦟 Homemade Mosquito Trap
Mosquitoes aren’t just annoying—they can carry diseases. Luckily, this simple yeast-based trap lures and traps them without a drop of pesticide.
What You’ll Need:
-
5 tablespoons sugar
-
1 tablespoon baking powder
-
1 cup hot water
-
1 packet dry yeast

1 empty 2-liter plastic bottle
Steps:
-
Dissolve the sugar and baking powder in hot water.
-
Add yeast and wait until the mixture begins to bubble.
-
Cut the bottle about one-third from the top.
-
Pour the mixture into the bottom half.
-
Invert the top portion into the bottom to create a funnel.

Place the trap near windows, doors, or any mosquito-prone area.
Why It Works:
The yeast releases carbon dioxide, which mimics human breath—attracting mosquitoes into the trap where they can’t escape.
