I found this online last year and tried it. IT WORKED! This year I have made them again. I am going to make more. I put 3 on the back porch and 2 on the front porch. I will put them in the play ares and under the picnic tables and wherever else that people or kids will be.
I use colored 2 liter soda bottles and leave the label on or cover the sides with dark paper. I use black plastic garbage bags, cut to cover the bottom and sides (to keep it dark inside).I also use black tape.
Cut top section off and turn upside down inside the bottom.
Prepare mixture. 1 cup sugar and one cup water. Boil to dissolve sugar. Add 2 cups cool water. When still warm, but not hot, add 1 package of yeast and stir. Pour into the prepared bottles, leaving an air space for mosquitoes to enter. Change out after 3 weeks or so and start again. No need to wash them unless you just want to.Great for camping too.
