- 5 tablespoons of sugar
- 1 tablespoon of baking powder
- 1 cup of hot water
- 1 empty 2-liter plastic bottle
Step-by-step instructions:
- In a bowl, dissolve the sugar into the hot water. Stir until fully mixed.
- Add the baking powder and stir again.
- Take the 2-liter bottle and cut it about one-third from the top.
- Pour the sugary mixture into the bottom of the bottle.
- Invert the top section and place it inside the bottom part like a funnel.
- Place the trap near windows, patios, or any spot where mosquitoes like to gather.
The sweet smell draws them in, and once inside, the trap makes it difficult for them to escape.
This solution is safe, effective, and uses no harmful sprays or toxins — perfect for homes with pets, grandkids, or anyone sensitive to chemical odors.
