How To Make An Easy Mosquito Trap


The internet is full of weird and wonderful ways to repel – or kill – mosquitoes. No one wants thousands of mosquitoes buzzing around you, stealing your blood and leaving you with the most intense itching all while you’re trying to have a glass of wine on the patio.

There are many things you can do to keep mosquitoes away, such as planting some of these plants with mosquito repelling properties (particularly the citronella plant) or burning a citronella candle – but for when that’s just not powerful enough, why not try this heavy duty method that will kill literally thousands of mosquitoes every night.

That picture at the top of this page is from just 48 hours of using this method. That’s a lot of mosquitoes!

You don’t need many tools. The main expense would be a high velocity fan – this MaxxAir High Velocity Air Circulator would do the job. You’d also need some fine mesh, such as mosquito netting and also some 70% rubbing alcohol. 

Apart from that, you’re good to go. So watch the video below and find out how you can kill thousands of mosquitoes per night and keep your garden and home mosquito free!
