I made a pretty cover for the well known bottle trap. I just can't see dead mosquito floating in a plastic bottle. We all do agreethat thisis effective, butit'syucky!!! So now have dead mosquitoes in a pretty Art Nouveau house....much fancier!!!
You need to cut 6 in. plank into four pieces. Two pieces of 12 in. high and two of 16 in. Cut out a tip shape on the tallest ones.
Glue the four pieces together to make the house shape. You can add a few nails if needed. Cut a small rectangle to make the bottom and glue/nail it inside.
Paint the inside of the house with black paint. This willattract moremosquitoes. I used a spray paint but acrylic paint will work as good.
Decor your house with a nice decor. I choose to make an look alike Art Nouveau frontage using just a sharpie. I first draw a few lines with a pencil and then with the sharpie. You can make other design, or just paint the house in a funny color.
Whatever thedecorationyouchoose, finish witha coat of transparentvarnishto protect the woodfrom bad weather.
I follow this tutorial to make the trap, it's still being tested.
Mix 1 cup of warm water with 1/4 cup of brown sugar, and let cool. Then pour it in the bottom of the bottle. And add a little yeast.
Put the bottle neck on top, upside down, and tape both part together.
I will let you know if the mix water/sugar/yeast really attract mosquitoes!
Put the bottle into the little house, and place them outside next to the mosquitoes headquarters.
Wait....and expect to kill a lot of mosquitoes!
