I thought these mosquito traps sounded interesting. I made three last night. I used a gallon distilled water jug. Cut the top off and inverted it. Mixed up four cups of hot water with a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar, 2 tsp of dry yeast, and a tsp dishwashing soap. Apparently, the yeast produces CO2 and the soap makes the mosquitos drown when they land on the water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was pretty thick. The trimmer is way more peaceful than the gas mower ever was. I use it like a scythe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
