Yeah, I’m going to try it this wekend. I’ll let you know how it works.
“Mosquitos fly around the corner, so the best place to place the trap is at some dark corner”
Let’s face it — that’s just stupid. Mosquitos don’t care whether they’re flying around a corner or not. Anyway, I made this and caught a fly and two ants. Mosquitos ignored it — just like people should.
Give some credit to the designers, this is pathetic…This article is stolen from a Chinese school project. Only thing is different is the occasional word and “mosquitos like dark corners”, which is complete bullshit.
Also, I made this and it didn’t work. At all.
There is about 50+ mosquitos buzzing around my porch, with the trap right in the middle. They are all ignoring it.
I bet you idiots who didn’t find this method to work cause you didn’t read instructions carefully.
It worked for me.. for four days… it kills alot
Mosquitos at my house are all found in the darker corners where two walls meet, so at least in Florida the mosquitos do like to hide around the corners. After Tropical Storm Faye we now have millions of the darn things hiding in the corners. I’m horrified and will be trying lots of different things….this homemade trap will be one of them. I hope it works.
The best soulution I have found for mosquitos is a product called Skeet-r-done. It is the best thing I have ever tried. I have been using this for over a year now and as long as I use it I have never gotten a mosquito bite. Their web site is

If you have a mosquito issue you must give it a try!
have a look at youtube – mosquito attractant mma. it’s cool! nothing else like it on the net.
mosquitoes hide in the shade during the day when its hot. They are more active early in the morning and evenings when its cooler. They usually go on “searching” flights in the evening and night for blood sources. That is where dark shade comes into play. To the person with the skeet-r-done product that probably works for the company: It won’t work. Use a product with DEET it is the most effective and it won’t hurt you. The other products that have “natural” items like citronella in them aren’t effective more than 10-15 mins.
I really thought when I make this mosquito trap there will be true mosquitoes that trap, why is it that there are more ants that attract compared to the mosquitoes.
But not that’s worst there was some wrigglers that in there and it could be probably that the mosquitoes lay eggs there so the population of mosquitoes will be lessen…
Actually, this is quite effective if done right. The mixture of yeast and sugar produces CO2 that attracts mosquitoes. Not an original idea though..
I made one for my living room and it worked fine. Now I placed an additional trap in my bedroom. Aleluya…. mosquitos gone.
geranium oil…just douse everything in it, including yourself. that keeps mosquitos away.
