Mosquito Battles - Lessons learned

Coke bottle mosquito trap REALLY WORKS.

You can find instructions how to make them all over the internet, here is one.
I made one of those a while ago.  Nothing happened.
It was the cold season and the yeast was too cold.

Now the days are starting to warm up, the yeast is becoming active,it does work.

The first thing I realized was a bad choice of location.
I had placed the bottle outside my kitchen door.
There where hundreds of mosquitos at my kitchen door this morning.
I'm building more of these traps, but definitely will locate in better places, 
away from my doors and windows.


I wrap the bottles in dark plastic
