Mosquitoes Trap DIY

Have you noticed the Mosquitos are already out! Here is a homemade trap to help keep you and the kiddos from being a blood donor!!!

...HOMEMADE MOSQUITO TRAP:
Items needed:
1 cup of water
1/4 cup of brown sugar
1 gram of yeast
1 2-liter bottle

HOW:
1. Cut the plastic bottle in half.
2. Mix brown sugar with hot water. Let cool. When cold, pour in the bottom half of the bottle.
3. Add the yeast. No need to mix. It creates carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes.
4. Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle, taping them together if desired.
5. Wrap the bottle with something black, leaving the top uncovered, and place it outside in an area away from your normal gathering area. (Mosquitoes are also drawn to the color black.)

Change the solution every 2 weeks for continuous control

April showers bring May flowers! Spring is also the time when insects
and bugs begin to multiply at astounding levels and pester any early
evening plans in the fresh air. If you’re anything like me, then you are
also certain that mosquitoes and other biting insects are out to get
you and may keep you indoors instead of enjoying the pleasant weather
outside.
Bugs should not keep us from a walk around the park or neighborhood, a
relaxing getaway at your favorite fishing hole, or enjoying a barbeque
with family and friends. Before you get to the point of banishing
yourself indoors, try this all-natural approach to a safe and
hazard-free bug spray with 100% pure, therapeutic-grade essential oils
from the World Leader in Essential Oils®.

Items needed:

• Spray bottle, 8 oz.
• Distilled water, 4 oz.
• Unscented witch hazel, 4 oz.
• Thieves® essential oil blend
• Purification® essential oil blend
• Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil
• Citronella essential oil
• Lavender essential oil
• Lemon essential oil
• Peppermint essential oil
• Idaho tansy essential oil

Preparation:

• Fill an 8-oz. spray bottle with 4 oz. of distilled water
• Add 4 oz. of witch hazel
• Add 10 drops of Thieves, Purification, and Melaleuca alternifolia essential oils
• Add 5 drops of lemon, lavender, peppermint, Idaho tansy, and citronella essential oils
• Shake well before each use and spray a light layer on skin and clothing

This natural alternative to store-bought bug sprays will keep you
free from chemicals and other unnatural ingredients—not to mention the
pleasant aroma that will be with you as you enjoy the nature around you.

However, if by chance you find yourself outside without bug spray,
Purification is an amazing after-bite reliever that minimizes itching
and redness, so be sure to keep some handy wherever you go.

Please share your experience below. I would love to hear from you and
get suggestions for other Young Living essential oils that you would
use in your own bug spray.
