DIY Mosquito Trap: The Party’s Over for Miniature Vampires

## 🛠 How to Make the DIY Mosquito Trap
### 1. **Cut the Bottle**
Cut the top third off the plastic bottle — just below where it starts to taper. You’ll use both parts.
### 2. **Make the Sugar Solution**
In the bottom part of the bottle, mix the brown sugar with warm water. Stir until fully dissolved.
### 3. **Add Yeast**
Sprinkle the yeast over the sugar water — no need to stir. The yeast will start feeding on the sugar and producing carbon dioxide within minutes.
### 4. **Assemble the Trap**
Take the top part of the bottle (the funnel) and place it upside down into the bottom half, like a funnel pointing into the liquid. This will prevent mosquitoes from flying back out once they enter.
### 5. **Secure and Conceal**
Tape the two parts of the bottle together securely. For best results, wrap the bottle with black tape or cloth — mosquitoes are more attracted to dark colors and will be drawn in more easily.

## 🪟 Where to Place the Trap
* Indoors near open windows or doors
* On patios, porches, or balconies
* Near still water sources or plants (breeding areas)
* In corners or shaded outdoor areas
Place traps **away from where people gather**, so they draw mosquitoes toward the trap instead of your guests.

## 💡 Bonus Tips
* Replace the mixture every 2 weeks or when the bubbles stop (that means fermentation has slowed).
* Use multiple traps in larger areas for better results.
* Avoid placing the trap in windy or very sunny spots — mosquitoes prefer still, shaded environments.
* Keep it out of reach of pets and small children.
