DIY Mosquito Trap

Filed under: diy, housework — Tags: , , , — bangkokmom @ 12:42 am

This is a non-toxic and totally green way of keeping the mosquito population down in your house.

You will need :

  • unwashed clothing, preferably gym clothes with lots of sweat — as bait
  • a tall tin can or a large vase

How-to :

  1. Place stinky clothing into a tall tin can or large vase
  2. Leave it in a dark corner overnight
  3. Next morning, sneak up and cover the opening. Put the covered can/vase under direct sunlight. Leave it there for 2 days. The trapped mosquitoes should die from the heat and/or starvation.

You will have to fish out the stinky sock, so it may not be 100% non-toxic. XD
