If you aren’t convinced about buying a CO2 mosquito trap, maybe you’d be interested in making one yourself with these simple tools:
- Fan: Ground-sitting fans work best for this DIY project.
- Wired screen: You’ll want a piece large enough to put over the back face of your fan.
- CO2: For most small, indoor traps, a bottle of carbonated water can work to attract the mosquitoes.
- Box or container: This is to keep your trap in so that it’s in a controlled environment.
- Spray bottle: Mix rubbing alcohol with water (2 to 1 ratio).
- Paper towel: A white paper towel to spot mosquitoes
Once you have the supplies, the only thing left to do is make the trap => Video
