Easy homemade Mosquito Remedy

Today as I was browsing through Facebook, I came across an interesting article that caught my attention. It was a post on an easy way to capture mosquitoes by a home-made device.

The steps indicated for making the device were very easy and so I did some internet research and soon found that many fellow bloggers have recommended the device as well.

I think, with the rains due to arrive, this device can be a very handy and economic device in local mosquito control measure in our own household.

So, here I post the steps of making the thing:


Things which will be needed basically are:

  • 200 ml water
  • 50 grams of brown sugar,
  • 1 gram of yeast (yeast bread, found in any supermarket) and a 
  • 2-liter plastic bottle.
  • Black wrapping paper


Now, The Steps
  1. Cut the plastic bottle (PET type) in half. Storing the neck portion:
  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.
  4. Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle.
  5. Wrap the bottle with something black, minus the top, and put in some corner of your house.


In two weeks you will see the amount of mosquitoes and mosquitoes who died inside!!!
