There is nothing more annoying than trying to enjoy a pleasant summer night in your garden, only to be cornered by pesky mosquitoes. Their humming sounds are as annoying as their incredibly annoying stings. Citronella candles seem to have a very limited scope and duration. So how do you fend off these pesky hackers?
The solution is DIY mosquito trap! To make a homemade mosquito trap, you will need :
* Ingredients :
°1 cup of water
°1/4 cup brown sugar
°1 gram of yeast
°Empty 2 liter bottle
*Directions:

Step 2: Dissolve the brown sugar in a cup of hot water. Let the mixture cool. Time it has cooled, pour the solution to bottom half of bottle.
