DIY : Mosquito Trap

Good Morning! Bangun pagi terus on laptop dulu, baru la boleh pergi solat dengan tenang. Macam itu la rutin harian dikala waktu pagiku.. ayat x boleh blah! hahaha :]

Ada ternampak la, pensyarah aku share 1 picture ni pasal diy (do-it-yourself) untuk mosquito trap. Sangat berguna untuk manfaat manusia sejagat. ayat macam ucapan untuk keamanan 1 dunia ajee. B)

Aku ada buat translation kepada English dan ada lah sedikit traslation daripada sumber.

Mosquito trap (Prevention of Dengue & other mosquito borne diseases)

Materials Needed:

2000ml (2 liter) bottle – (Though any bottle will do as long as it is plastic)

50 gram sugar – (It looks like a brown sugar to me)

1 gram yeast – (Yeast can be bought in flee market or in grocery stores or supermarket)

Thermometer – ( This is optional though since thermometer will only be used in checking the temperature of the liquid) 

Measuring cup – (Optional also just to measure the water to be added) 

Knife – (Used for cutting)

Black paper – (Used as Cover)

Steps:

1. Cut a plastic bottle in half, keep both parts. Can be soft drink

bottle.

2.Take the lower portion of the bottle. Mix 200ml of hot water with 50g brown sugar. Dissolve the brown sugar in hot water.Let it cool down to 40°C.

3.Add yeast. You don’t have to mix it since it will react gradually with the sugar to produce CO2. Carbon dioxide will be formed and will attract the mosquitoes.

4.Insert the top portion upside down like a funnel. Place it in a dark corner in your house.

5. Cover the bottle with a dark wrap to make it dark inside - just how mosquitoes like it.

TIPS: After two weeks you should have a whole bunch of (mostly) dead mosquitoes in your trap. Replace sugar water and yeast every 2 weeks. Try it and let me know how you get on.
