Summer is in full swing, which means not only beautiful weather, warmth and lots of sunshine, but also many mosquitoes that constantly bother us. If you live near water, you certainly have major problems with them and getting rid of them is not easy at all unless you know exactly how. In rainy weather we all struggle with them, and that’s why today’s tip on how to get rid of all of them in a single night will serve you well.
What will you need?
Of course you can buy chemicals in a store, but homemade methods are best and you don’t have to worry about the health of your family. To remove mosquitoes from your home you will need a few basic ingredients from which you will prepare an effective agent. For its preparation, have one cup of water, 1/4 cup of brown sugar, one gram of yeast and a half-liter bottle ready. You don’t need anything else.
How to do it?
First prepare the bottle. Cut it in half. Then mix the brown sugar with hot water. Let it dissolve completely and cool. After it has cooled, pour the liquid into the bottom half of the bottle. Add the yeast. You don’t need to stir the mixture. The yeast produces carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes. Then insert the funnel-shaped top half upside down into the bottom bottle, or secure it with insulating tape.
Finally, wrap the lower half of the bottle with a suitable black material, leaving only the upper part of the bottle transparent. Black fabric is ideal for covering the lower part, but you can also use paper. Experts say that mosquitoes rest in dark places and the scent of sugar with yeast will lure them. Because of that they will drown in the liquid and you will not have a house or apartment full of annoying mosquitoes that would suck your blood.
It also works on other insects
In a similar way you can also get rid of flies and other flying insects. Pour a little beer into a half-liter bottle and add some sugar. Turn the cut-off top part of the bottle back so that flies entering the fermenting liquid cannot fly back out. This is a guaranteed and time-tested method because insects really like the smell of beer and sugar. That will lure them in. In addition, both methods are very simple and cheap.
