Wrap the bottle in black paper or cloth. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark, damp places, and this makes the trap more inviting.
Set your trap in a shaded corner of your porch, garden, or inside near windows or doors. Avoid placing it right next to where people sit, so it lures mosquitoes away from you.
💡 Tips for Best Results
- Replace the bait every 2 weeks to keep the CO₂ flowing.
- Use multiple traps in larger spaces.
- Place one near entrances or where mosquitoes are most active.
- Keep the trap out of reach of pets or curious kids.
✅ Why It Works
- CO₂ lure: Mimics the breath of humans and animals
- Dark funnel: Mosquitoes fly in but can’t find their way out
- Fermentation scent: Attracts mosquitoes without synthetic chemicals
🛡️ Bonus Natural Tips to Keep Mosquitoes Away
- Plant mosquito-repelling herbs like citronella, lavender, basil, and mint
- Remove standing water where mosquitoes breed
- Use essential oil sprays with eucalyptus, lemon, or tea tree oil
- Keep fans running—mosquitoes are weak fliers!
