3 DIY Mosquito Trap Comparison Yeast vs Soap vs Borax

Рет қаралды 792,389

6 жыл бұрын

I compared 3 DIY Mosquito traps that are mentioned heavily in articles and videos across the internet to kill and get rid of Mosquitoes. I used traps using yeast, soap, and borax. The results are kind of predictable. You can use big fan with a Mesh to catch mosquitoes which uses a lot of energy or buy a mosquito magnet device that attracts and kills mosquitoes. However, the best way to repel mosquitoes is to plant herbs like lavender, mint, basil, rosemary, and thyme.

Hello Jag, I was watching few of your videos about mosquito and ants problem in your backyard, I was wondering if you ever tried garlic spray for mosquito and also I try sugar/boric acid/water mix for the ants problem , ants are completely gone. Thanks for all of your informative videos. Good luck

I spent a whole summer out in the middle of nowhere in hot humid weather as a camp nurse and got 2 mosquito bites without using anything. After inquiring I learned they had several bat boxes around the property. Bats apparently really like to eat mosquitos. If you live in the city, this may not work for you but you could always ask your local DNR, or extension office. Also, this year I've used peppermint & vanilla spray and it seems to work but the mosquitoes aren't really out yet here. Thanks for the update!

Jag check your property for standing water sources and get rid of the water. I notice the mosquito you have in one of the videos is an Aedes species. These mosquitos tend to develop in small items holding water around the yard. Check with your local vector control district to see what they can do.

Keep in mind that spraying neem oil around the yard actively endangers pollinators. My wife and I use it for some pests, but we're very careful not to use it near any flowers/pollen sources- and even then, pollinators do land on random leaves, stalks, etc. so are still at risk.

This is hilarious to me, because I have been making homemade mosquito traps for years now, and THEY WORK GREAT!!! I use Yeast, Brown Sugar, and Water. That's all!! Except one thing different. I use black construction paper to wrap the plastic bottle. The mixture of brown sugar and yeast produces CO2, which is what attracts the mosquitos (and other insects looking for blood) CO2 oozes from our pores, and from our breath. This mosquito trap works. Im not sure what your problem was/is.

the water and soap trap should be much larger. Your goal with that trap is to mimic a laying pool for the mosquito to lay the larva in. Once the mosquito trays to land on the water due to the soap breaking the water tension it won't be able to land on the water and it will drown. A wheel barrel full of water with some soap mixed in (no bubbles on the surface of the water though) and that will be way more effective than a small bottle of water.

As a certified applicator, I can say that the reason your traps were flawed was because they were not black. Try painting or covering the bottles and construction paper and try again. There's also a product called in2care, which is a black bucket you fill with water and dissolve some type of mycelium that clings to mosquitoes and makes them infertile. In2care is used by football stadiums, amusement parks, and any other large area where a lot of people are. In2care is expensive, but one bucket will work for a block of 4 homes if positioned probably.

Those carbon dioxide things work, and work BIG time. Believe me! I found that out several years ago when I was invited to my brother-in-laws annual 4th of July BBQ just outside Houston Texas. (I'm a Southern California girl where the climate is usually quite dry.) We arrived several days in advanced and stayed at his house for a two week vacation. Every time we went outside in the early evening, when it was comfortable enough to be outside, we were attacked by skeeters! He had huge puddles that would not dry out on his acreage that were filled with mosquito larvae by the thousands, due to the rain that falls often in that part of the country that simply never dries out. He never did a thing to try to get rid of them because they are everywhere. Not just on his acreage, but on everyone's. During the hours of the BBQ he set up a carbon dioxide attraction and trapping device away from the people. Not one of us were bother by mosquitoes the entire time that device was running When most people left, and he turned the device off, we were fresh meat for the taking again!

I myself attract mosquitoes. I do notice that whenever I'm using a tablet, that the light attracts mosquitoes on the face around the eyes. I concluded they're attracted to the light. Which is one of the premises those electric catchy mosquitoes traps work really well when I put a bottle of the yeast sugars solution next to it. So what happens I'm guessing is that the small reverse fan on the catching mosquito is drawing the air smell being emitted from the yeast bottle.. along with the light being emitted and in a week's time I will have more than 30 mosquito caught on the sticky katchy insert. I also noticed that I wasn't being harassed by mosquitoes while using my tablet anymore. So three elements the yeast air along with the light being emitted from the catchy mosquito suction device all play into an effective mosquito trap for me. Hope this helps.

Yeah, and he also used cold water, which is not going to activate the yeast or disperse the sugar into the solution effectively.

I need a trap for in my bedroom. I always have 2-3 buzzing around my ears at night which is stupid annoying. I've tried those sound devices that you plugin the wall, those scented thingies you put on your nightstand, and I tried the blue light zap thing. They don't care. They patiently wait till I go to bed and find me.

Try using the net or KULAMBO that needs to be installed in the bed. It's a Filipino thing specially used in rural areas. You'll sleep comfortably cuz the insects won't enter the net. Just make sure all the openings are securely closed.

First to do this kind of test - you need to ensure you have mosquitos to catch -his garden didn't look like he was likely to have a lot of mosquitos - I would suggest placing those three bottles around standing water and check the results after mosquitos start forming in the water

Herbs are also inefective. I have 2 HUGE rosemary plants in my front garden and the are always filled with mosquitos. Also in my back garden i have 1 huge basil plant, same story.

I experimented with this, same result as yours, so I found quiet a few ways to repel mosquitoes. One is to pick stems of herbs and then burn the herb stems, that works! will be posting a video soon!

Seltzer water!!! Unscrew the lid a little so it slowly leaks out- and set it in the yard away from your gathering when youre outside. Lasts 3 hours or so. This combined with running the fan with screen and using essential oils and planting vegetation mosquitoes hate, are all good ways to catch them! Cheers- great video!

Placing them on the grounday have been a problem. Spartan mosquito control devices work fairly well. The container is dark and it hangs from the tree. Apparently, it's a yeast, sugar and pinch if salt mixture.
