you just need to cut in half a plastic bottle 2 lts., mix within 200 ml.
warm water without chlorine with 50 gr.
sugar, and add 1 gram of fresh yeast, once this step, enter half of the cut bottle with the neck down like a funnel, and wrap the container with a dark cloth.
This mixture needs to be changed once a week, emit CO2 so appreciated by mosquitoes, who will attend the trap.
