### **How to Make the Mosquito Trap**
#### **Step 1: Prepare the Container**
1. Take a plastic bottle and cut it in half. Keep both parts; you’ll use them together.
2. Invert the top half (funnel-shaped) into the bottom half, creating a trap.
#### **Step 3: Assemble the Trap**
1. Pour the yeast-sugar mixture into the bottom half of the bottle.
2. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of baking soda over the mixture.
3. Fit the inverted top half of the bottle into the base, ensuring it’s snug.
#### **Step 4: Set It Up**
Place the trap in areas where mosquitoes are most active, such as near windows, doors, or outdoor seating areas.
### **Why This Recipe Works**
—
While this trap is highly effective, combining it with other natural remedies can help you maintain a mosquito-free environment:
1. **Eliminate Standing Water**: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Regularly empty water from pots, birdbaths, and gutters.
2. **Plant Mosquito-Repelling Herbs**: Lavender, citronella, and basil are natural deterrents.
3. **Use Essential Oils**: Lemon eucalyptus, tea tree, and peppermint oils can be applied to the skin (diluted) or used in diffusers.
