With this simple, all-natural remedy, you can get rid of mosquitoes and rest at night: here’s how.
Mosquito trap
The summer season is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful of the year, given that during these months we can take advantage of the beautiful sunny and warm days to treat ourselves to a vacation that regenerates body and mind. Many people like to spend summer days at the beach, perhaps enjoying cold drinks, while others prefer to walk in the mountains and enjoy the lower temperatures. However, during the summer period you also have to deal with some major inconveniences typical of this season. First of all, there is certainly the return of insects, especially mosquitoes , which easily enter the house and bite everyone who lives there.
The mosquito trap is very effective: you will never have to worry about it again
The presence of mosquitoes is unbearable especially at night, because the buzzing and biting of these insects can easily wake us up or prevent us from resting.
Mosquito
Fortunately, there are very effective remedies that allow you to eliminate mosquitoes and rest without having to fear being bitten.
This is a very effective mosquito trap that can be easily made by anyone, even at home. The advice is to always focus on these natural remedies, avoiding chemical and invasive solutions.
The trap in question is truly one of the best remedies available. The solution, in fact, is characterized by the fermentation gases from sugar and yeast, which attract mosquitoes to the trap. Once inside the bottle, the mosquitoes will fall into the syrup and will no longer be able to escape.
What do you need to make this simple remedy? First, we need to make sure we have 200 ml of water, 50 grams of cane sugar , and one gram of brewer’s yeast. We then need an empty 2-liter Coca-Cola bottle.
We take a knife or scissors to cut the bottle in half, cutting just above the middle to leave room for the liquid. The next step is to boil 200 ml of water in a saucepan , then add 50 grams of brown sugar to the saucepan.
Boiling water
When the sugar is completely dissolved in the water, remove the pan from the heat and let the resulting mixture (i.e. the syrup) cool below 30°C.
To help the solution cool faster, you can also refrigerate it. Once this is done, pour the syrup into the bottom of the bottle, adding one gram of brewer’s yeast to the solution (no need to stir).
The final step is to take the top of the bottle (with the neck facing down) and insert it into the bottom, using tape to secure the two halves.
Mosquito trap effectiveness is guaranteed: try it to believe it
The homemade mosquito trap is now ready to use. To ensure the trap attracts as many mosquitoes as possible, it is advisable to place it in the room where the presence of these annoying insects is greatest .
brewer’s yeast
For even greater effectiveness, several bottles can be scattered throughout the different rooms of the house, so as to avoid any possible pinching. The syrup should be changed approximately every two weeks or at least when you notice that there are no more bubbles.
This aspect indicates that there is no more fermentation: consequently, carbon dioxide is no longer released and no longer attracts mosquitoes.
In fact, mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide we release when we breathe. This natural mosquito trap generates carbon dioxide , thanks to the fermentation of syrup and brewer’s yeast.
The remedy, as mentioned, uses fermentation gases to attract mosquitoes into the bottle. The mosquitoes enter the trap through the neck of the bottle, but once inside, they find no way out and are therefore doomed.
