Summer is here, which means mosquitoes are starting to make their way into your home. It’s a bummer, but there are ways to avoid bites from these pesky insects. Here are some ideas:
‘Cause there’s so many mosquitoes in my house
There are several reasons why mosquitoes can breed so quickly in your home. The first is that they breed in standing water, so if there is standing water around, it will be prime territory for mosquitoes.
Another reason mosquitoes thrive in homes is because we don’t use repellent or remove the water surrounding our homes as soon as possible. We tend to leave the faucet running while brushing our teeth or showering, which allows mosquito eggs and larvae to grow into adults and continue to lay eggs during the summer months until winter arrives (when they die).
How to Make Homemade Eco-Friendly Bottle Cheating
This trap is very effective not only for mosquitoes but also for flies.
Need:
50 g brown sugar
1 g baking powder
200 ml warm water
1 x 1.5 litre plastic bottle
Manufacturing steps:
- With the help of a knife and/or scissors, cut the bottle in half. Make a cut above the middle to make room for the liquid.
- Boil 200 ml of water in a saucepan.
- Add 50g of brown sugar to the pan.
- When the sugar is completely dissolved in the water, remove the saucepan from the heat.
- Allow the resulting mixture (syrup) to cool below 30°C. You can put the syrup in the fridge to make it cool faster.
- Now pour the syrup into the bottom of the bottle.
- Add 1g of brewer’s yeast on top. Do not mix.
- Take the top of the bottle (neck down) to fit it into the bottom.
- Use tape to glue the two halves of the bottle together.
In short, a mosquito trap is an important part of preserving your peace of mind in summer. It’s easy to make and will help you sleep better at night.
A mosquito trap is a unique and effective way to get rid of mosquitoes, but it does take some time and effort. If you make one yourself, you will be able to control the number of pests in your home and enjoy the benefits of eliminating them at once. With this homemade trap, you won’t need any dangerous chemicals or pesticides.
