Have
you been looking for a cost-effective way to get rid of pesky mosquito's?
Well
now you can skip the chemicals and the added cost of expensive mosquito traps
this year and DIY!!! I was very surprised at how easy this solution is. Around
our house we have citronella plants to keep the little buggers away
and we do not have a problem with mosquito's.

However,
while camping we cannot take our plants with us so this is a great alternative
for the mosquito season!!
HOMEMADE
MOSQUITO TRAP:
Items
needed:
1
cup of water
1/4
cup of brown sugar
1/4
teaspoon of yeast
2
liter soda bottle
Directions:
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.
