Steps:
Stir sugar and baking powder into hot water until completely dissolved.
Add yeast to the mixture and let it sit until it starts to bubble—this means the yeast is activating.
Cut the plastic bottle about one-third from the top.
Pour the mixture into the bottom portion of the bottle.
Flip the top of the bottle upside down and fit it into the bottom, forming a funnel.
Place your trap near windows, doorways, or areas where mosquitoes are active.
Why It Works:
Yeast releases carbon dioxide, mimicking human breath. Mosquitoes are drawn in by this gas but can’t escape once inside the trap.
