You need:
2 litre plastic bottle.
200 ml hot water,
A small glass for diluting sugar.
50 g of coarse sugar/ brown sugar,
Yeast powder/ granules
Knife/Scissor
Black paper / black plastic bag
|
Cut the bottle in the ratio of approx 3:1.
|
Mix 200ml of hot water with 50g sugar. Then cool the sugar water & add the yeast powder/ granules.
Note: You don't have to mix - it will react gradually with the sugar to produce CO2, |
Now Pour the solution to the cut bottle
|
Fit the upper cut part upside down.
Make it a tight fit by using celltape so that the CO2 that's produced will only be coming out of the bottle hole which is upside down:
Note: C02 i.e carbondioxide which human breathes out attracts mosquito's which senses like a living animal
|
Now stick the black paper arround the bottle. As mosquioto are attracted to black color. |
Now place in a humid dark corner of the room. where you think more mosquito are there. |
After every Two Weeks replace the sugar water and the yeast with the lot of trap and dead mosquitos. |
