Fighting Dengue: Mosquito trap

FIGHTING DENGUE MUST START AT EVERY HOME.

Mosquito trap (Dengue prevention)

It’s just a mix of water, brown sugar and yeast:

1.Cut a plastic bottle in half, keep both parts. Can be CocaCola/Pepsi. No matter lah!

2.Take the lower portion of the bottle. Dissolve the brown sugar in hot water. Let it cool down to ~70 degF.

3.Add the yeast. Carbon dioxide will form (This will attract the mosquitos)

4.Cover the bottle with a dark wrap and place the top portion upside down like a funnel. Place it in a corner in your house.

5.In 2 weeks you will be surprised by the number of mosquitos killed. Check this link http://www.flickr.com/photos/naruwan/151675034/ and this other link.
