### 🛠️ How to Make the Mosquito Trap:
1. **Cut the Bottle:**
Cut the top third off the plastic bottle (right around where it curves).
2. **Make the Bait:**
Dissolve the brown sugar in the hot water and let it cool to room temperature. Once cool, pour it into the bottom half of the bottle.
3. **Add the Yeast:**
Sprinkle the yeast on top of the sugar water. No need to stir—it will slowly activate and begin producing carbon dioxide.
4. **Assemble the Trap:**
Invert the top half of the bottle (like a funnel) and place it into the bottom half, mouth side down. Tape the sides to seal it if necessary.
5. **Place Your Trap:**
Set the trap in a dark, humid area where mosquitoes are most active—like a corner of your bedroom, patio, or near indoor plants.

### 🌿 Bonus Tip: Add a Natural Repellent
To **repel mosquitoes** while your trap lures them in, consider using natural scents they hate. Place a bowl of the following near doors or windows:
– **Clove-studded lemons**
– **Fresh mint or basil**
– **Lavender sachets**
– **Citronella candles or essential oil diffusers**
These help keep new mosquitoes out while your trap handles the rest.
