Bite back! Mosquitos gone for less than a dollar

Tired of mosquitoes turning your backyard into a buffet? In this video, I show you how to build a simple, low-cost mosquito trap using everyday materials—just two soda bottles, sugar, yeast, and water. No chemicals. No electricity. Just a clever little setup that works by producing CO₂, which attracts mosquitoes—then traps them before they can get to you. 🔧 What You’ll Learn How to build the trap step-by-step Why yeast + sugar attracts mosquitoes The best placement for maximum effectiveness Tips to improve performance and catch more bugs 🧪 How It Works The yeast ferments the sugar and releases carbon dioxide—basically mimicking human breath. Mosquitoes follow the CO₂ trail into the bottle… and don’t make it back out. 🧰 Materials Needed https://amzn.to/3QEiDwv 2-liter soda bottle (or similar) Sugar Active dry yeast Warm water Tape (optional) Black paper or cloth (helps improve results) ⚠️ Safety Note This project is simple and safe, but always use common sense when cutting bottles and handling materials. 💡 Got a Better Idea?
