Hello I'm new to Los Alcazares and I have just realised that there are mosquitoes here. How will I keep them out of the apartment and tips on what to get and do with this issue.
Appreciate your help
Regards
Eileen

HOMEMADE MOSQUITO TRAP:
Items needed:
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 gram of yeast
1 2-liter bottle
HOW:
1. Cut the plastic bottle in half.
2. Mix brown sugar with hot water. Let cool. When cold, pour in the bottom half
of the bottle.
3. Add the yeast. No need to mix. It creates carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes.
4. Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle,
taping them together if desired.
5. Wrap the bottle with something black, leaving the top uncovered, and place it
outside in an area away from your normal gathering area. (Mosquitoes are also
drawn to the color black.)
Change the solution every 2 weeks for continuous control.
