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 Coca Cola / Pepsi bottle.
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.

    Machan,It might be a common trap, not specially for dengue,
    I got this photos last month while searching on net.I thought to post it to EK,but didnt post because I wasn't that much sure.
    I tried that and I was able to catch only a cockroach.(really bad smell due to that mixture and CO2)
