DIY Mosquito Trap That WORKS Everytime | Guaranteed To Kill Thousands

I don’t understand how people can be critical of this man’s presentation, when he is going to a lot of trouble to share his expertise and helpful knowledge….i guess these comments are made by VERY important people whose time is EXTREMELY valuable….or maybe they just don’t know how to SPEED up the video or READ the TRANSCRIPT .

Thank you for your video. I watched your repellent video and took notes. I have a repellent recipe that I will add your method to. I have been putting glycerine in mine. It is said to add to the time it is effective. Your mosquito killer method is similar to one I’ve used for three years. It combines yeast sugar and water. Salt is added which kills the mosquitos. It has worked well. I’m going to incorporate your info to make a better trap. Just subscribed! Looking forward to learning more. Your garden is beautiful. Love the bonsais.

[@gonelooney5698]

to help keep them out of the house I spray around doors as well as grow citronella in planters by doors and around deck edges - high and low planters. Bloodsuckers really like me even though I really like garlic : P

Mosquito bits last for 2 weeks and are AWESOME!

@@marcellasmith8942 I thought you made a typo and misspelled *bites* and you were being snarky about the bites being awesome! Thanks for the LOL, I needed that.

[@marcellasmith8942]

@@beckybrown3291 That is funny Becky, hehe. For those who don't know what the Mosquito Bits is, its a product you buy, like on Amazon, they are little granules that are like bits of the original donut-shaped bigger Mosquito Dunks, they have a sterile bacteria in them that is released in the water and live for the next 2 weeks, the bacteria kills mosquito larvae and then the bacteria dies off. A perfect way to sit up a mosquito 'trap' is put water in a 5-gallon bucket, put in the shade, put bits in them, and over the next week all the mosquitos will lay their eggs in the bucket because of the convenience of the bucket, and your mosquito population will drop dramatically. Dump out the water and replenish with bits every 14 days. I also sprinkle bits in water pans and such that is outside and collects water, that keeps them clean also. The bacteria is harmless to animals and people

[@PrecisionClays]

Mosquitos like dark places more so painting the outside black will likely help attract more.

I think dishsoap might work too since it will make them sink in the water

[@JackSanders-xd6sq]

Great video and beautiful backyard. I grew up in Central America doing all the outdoor activities and even caught malaria, but the mosquitos here in Florida are much worse with a bad attitude. I will try your system so when I go outside to have a cerveza or rum I won’t donate as much blood. Thanks.

Hello Mr. Host, thank you for your help and interest in sharing what you know to help others. I have brewers yeast that i ordered by accident. Is it a yeast that i can use in your mosquito recipe?

[@williamirelan9332]

There's a product called Dunks that is used to eliminate mosquitoes in large tanks and ponds it kills larva and is non-toxic for animals. I use half a Dunk in a 5 gallon bucket about 1/2 full moving 2 buckets around the garden as needed , I haven't seen a mosquito all summer when using this method. Mosquitoes tend to stay close to the ground so the buckets seem to work best on the ground.

[@hoperules8874]

I've used those and their effectiveness is very short.😢 But I like the smell!

[@harleydugan4010]

The Dunks do work! Tap on the side of the bucket and watch for larva movement if so add more Dunks, half or quarter.

[@hoperules8874]

@@harleydugan4010 and after one rain storm or even one day, the dunks stop working-a teaspoon of yeast and some sugar mixed works better and keeps working-then the water is fantastic for veggie plants

My understanding is that mosquito bits work for about 2 weeks in water and then you need to add more. If the weather is hot, then they may only last 1 week.

[@SKWDMDYT]

The concern I have with traps is, will it attract insects from acres away, that ordinarily would not be around your house. Years ago I bought fly traps from Home Depot. The traps were so effective that in a matter of days there were thousands of dead flies in the trap. There is no way all those flies were local to my property, and in fact were attracted to the awful scent from quite a distance away. If only we can get neighbors on board to also use the same techniques, it might actually be a long term solution.

[@UniquelyUbiquitous-yg3xl]

What was the product called?

[@SKWDMDYT]

@@UniquelyUbiquitous-yg3xl It was one of the smelly hanging bags with a funnel on top. Flies can get in, but no way out because wingspan to wide. Its called Resue now. It literally would fill up to the brim with dead flies in a couple days.

[@oz-ska-fest4580]

You can use neem oil as that is the active ingredient in the dunks

[@jarrodedwards5819]

I think it's Bacillus thuriengensis. I don't know how the endospores actually kill the larvae though

What about combining the mosquito traps and the wasp traps into 1 unit. They both have sugar water. Because wasps wound probability feed on the mosquito trap alone. So in addition to the dunks can you add boric acid and bacon?

[@lostpony4885]

Be aware it is possible for those dunks to be dead. I scratched a while before checking and confirming i was breeding them instead of eradicating them. Do visually checkup and make sure your dunks arent dead.

I seem to remember hearing a few drops of oil will prevent mosquitoes from being able to land and stay on the surface tension of the water to lay their eggs. They’ll actually fall in and drown before they can lay their eggs. I presume this is correct.

You said 1 tablespoon of yeast early in the video, then 1 teaspoon later on. Please clarify so that I can get the sugar/yeast ratio correct. Both times the sugar was 1/4 cup. Thanks.

The amount of yeast is not critical as they will multiply until all of the sugar is converted to CO2 and alcohol. Same process as making wine and beer.

I have done a lot of research on why I attract mosquitoes. I definitely quit wearing dark clothes outside. Apparently if you eat a lot of soured milk products like sour cream, yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese etc, your skin puts off a smell that the mosquitoes flock after. I am AB blood type and those are beneficial foods. Yep, they LOVE me. How about eating sour milk foods and wait a day and put a black T shirt on that is oversized, get extremely hot and sweat like CRAZY then cut that shirt up and use THAT as bait? I bet they will LOVE my black shirts. Normally I wear very light colored shirts to keep the heat down and avoid attracting mosquitoes. I will take my rattiest dark cotton shirt and wear it tomorrow and see how that works for my traps. Thank you!

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Mosquito Bits: When applied to water, it will release Bacillus thuringiensis sp israelensis (Bti), a naturally occurring bacterium that acts as a species-specific larvicide. As it dissipates in the water, the larvae that's present will feed on it and perish within 24 hours.

[@bltnprepper]

Dumb question: You want a sweet bubbly substance, so why not use Sprite or 7-Up? Or is the yeast for a different purpose than bubbles? Just looking for a possible shortcut.

[@Eyes0penNoFear]

Soda goes flat in a few hours, which means it runs out of CO2. Yeast is a living organism that eats sugar and emits CO2. The yeast will stay alive for weeks, happily turning the sugar into a continual source of CO2 for the trap.

[@rf8driver]

The yeast converts sugar to CO2 which attracts the mosquitoes.
