12 best homemade mosquito traps
Homemade mosquito traps can be a practical and cost-effective way to manage mosquito populations in your outdoor spaces. Here's a simple recipe for a DIY mosquito trap:
Homemade Mosquito Trap:
Materials:
- 2-liter plastic bottle
- Brown sugar
- Active dry yeast
- Warm water
- Black paper or plastic
- Tape
Instructions:
Prepare the Bottle:
- Cut the plastic bottle in half, separating the top and bottom portions. Keep the top (the bottle neck) and set aside the bottom.
Mix the Mosquito Bait:
- In a bowl, dissolve 1 tablespoon of brown sugar in 1 cup of warm water. Allow it to cool to room temperature.
Add Yeast:
- Once the sugar water has cooled, add 1 teaspoon of active dry yeast to the mixture. Stir well.
Assemble the Trap:
- Pour the sugar and yeast mixture into the bottom half of the plastic bottle.
Invert the Top:
- Invert the top half of the bottle (the neck) and place it into the bottom half, creating a funnel shape. Make sure the neck is pointing downward into the bottom half.
Wrap in Dark Material:
- Wrap the outside of the bottle with black paper or plastic. Mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors.
Secure and Place:
- Use tape to secure the bottle halves together and ensure there are no gaps. Place the trap in an area where mosquitoes are a nuisance, preferably in a shady spot.
How it Works:
- Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide produced by the yeast as it ferments the sugar. When they enter the funnel to reach the bait, they get trapped inside the bottle.
Maintenance:
- Replace the bait every 2 weeks, or sooner if it becomes cloudy.Clean the trap regularly to prevent the buildup of debris.
While homemade mosquito traps can help reduce mosquito populations, it's important to note that they are not a complete solution. Using multiple methods, such as eliminating standing water, using mosquito repellent, and employing other mosquito control measures, will contribute to a more effective strategy for managing mosquitoes in your outdoor space.

Ortensi Insect Trap
The Ortensi Insect Trap uses simple physics principles to safely catch and kill insects. The sleek and elegant exterior design not only gives the device an impressive and hi-tech feel, yet functions to effectively catch unsuspecting insects. Features
Sleek, Modern and Functional Design
360 Degree, 20-Piece UV LED Light
Vertical Air Duct with Escape Prevention Funnel
Detachable Insect Bin
Convenient with Micro USB Cable
6/12-Hour Timer Switch
Quiet Fan Operation How it Works
Under the influence of the device’s attractant UV light, insects fly towards the light which is close to the intake vent. The fan produces a suction force all around the trap and intake vent, which pulls insects into the device and bin. There, they are killed by being completely dried out. The added Escape Prevention Funnel allows insects to easily be sucked inside the device but makes it very difficult for them to escape back out. Use It
Indoors: kitchens, bedrooms, study rooms, living rooms, bathrooms, dining rooms, restaurants, offices, etc.
Outdoors: patios, camping tents, or other enclosed outdoor spaces The Basics
Place device in the desired area to catch insects. Make the area as dark as possible for maximum UV light attraction. Avoid placing device in the same area as humans, if possible. Some insects, like mosquitoes, are more attracted to humans than light.
Power on the device and run overnight. To help ensure insect killing, keep device on through the morning to facilitate dehydration of insects.
May use timer settings for convenience. Do not run device continuously.
*Power plug not included* Not rechargeable*
- MODERN FUNCTIONAL DESIGN: Looks great while it traps mosquitoes, gnats, moths, fruit flies and more.

User questions & answers
Question: | Do we need to take precautions when using this light in the home? Is it ok for humans to be in the room with it if you are not trapping mosquitoes |
Answer: | We apply every night after his bath. It takes time, there's no magic there, though it is helpful. Our son, 22 month old, has very sensitive skin. Thank you! |
- LARGE UV LIGHT RING AND SMART SENSOR - The large ultraviolet light ring will attract mosquitoes and moths to the trap in any dark room. The smart sensor makes things simple by automatically turning the trap on when it’s dark, and off when it’s light.
- BAIT BAY and ATTRACTANT CONTAINERS - Add your own attractant to the trap. This is useful when catching fruit flies as they are attracted to fruit and not UV lights. Place any type of fruit into the bait bay, like a piece of banana, apple, or pear to attract the fruit flies. You can even add your own attractant to one of the 3 included attractant containers to get even better results when catching fruit flies. (apple cider vinegar or other attractant is sold separately)
- POWERFUL FAN AND STICKY GLUE BOARDS - Once the flying insects are lured over to the Tornado Trap, the powerful fan sucks the bugs in. The fan pulls the insects to the bottom of the trap where they will land on the sticky glue board at the base and ensures that they will not escape.
- USB POWERED - The Tornado Trap uses only 5w of power and comes with a USB adapter and charging cable. It can also be powered by any USB port device which includes computers, laptops, and portable chargers. The sleek design that is available in black or white makes it a great fit for any room like the kitchen, bedroom, office, restaurant, or camping tent.

Catch these insects...
Fruit flies are generally attracted to ripened fruit, apple cider vinegar, and wine. They are not typically attracted to UV lights. With the Tornado Trap's Bait Bay, you can add a ripe piece of fruit to the trap. Or you can use other natural attractants like apple cider vinegar using one of the included bait containers. Place the trap in the general area of where the fruit flies are most active and rid your home of these fly pests.
Rid your home of these common flying household pests
Mosquitos are most active during dusk hours and are attracted to heat sources. The large UV light ring on the Tornado Trap simulates a heat source and draws them over to the trap where they will be sucked in. You can use the Smart Sensor on the trap to have it come on automatically when it gets dark and shut off in the morning so the Tornado Trap is always working for you getting rid of these sometimes dangerous pests.
Rid your home of these common flying household pests
Gnats are generally found around household plants and near garbage cans. They are primarily attracted to sweet and fruity scents, and some are also attracted to water and body heat. You can use the Tornado Trap’s Bait Bay to lure gnats in by adding a piece of fruit for bait. The UV light will mimic a heat source also aiding in drawing them to the trap where they will meet their demise. Place the trap as close to the source of the gnats as possible.
Rid your home of these common flying household pests
Most moths are attracted to light sources and the UV light on the Tornado Trap will lure in and catch smaller moths that find their way into your home. Unfortunately, the Tornado Trap will not catch large moths or clothes moths that live in closets. Clothes moths generally shy away from light sources.

User questions & answers
Question: | Why did you change the design? I really liked the ones that came empty and I could set them up myself. They say if it’s not broken don’t fix it |
Answer: | @Manufacturer; to the manufacturer, @BEAPCO: the old style worked well. Your claim that these have been "improved" is false. These are not nearly as good. Why did you change it? If you don't change it back, these are useless. Disappointed. It is not smart to change a good working product to try to save a few cents and ruin an otherwise cash cow / good product! I agree with the others who said these don't work well at all. |
Question: | If this is used in a small room, would the room smell like the solution (perhaps apple vinegar |
Answer: | I didn't smell it at all, and I placed 4 traps out in one room at the same time. Unlike other answers, I had a few flies trapped within 10 minutes and many more within 24 hours. |
Question: | is the liquid lure included with the traps |
Answer: | Yes, everything you need is in the box. Be careful when you put the lure in the traps; the traps are small and there is a line on the side so you don't overfill. I had fruit flies in the kitchen and bedroom so I used 3 the first time; 2 in the kitchen and 1 in the bedroom. They worked like a champ. Some people say you can wash out the traps but they are so small it's not worth it and cheap enough to buy more if needed. Hope this helps you out. |
Question: | What is in the traps that attracts the flies? Is it some toxic chemical or more of a 'natural' solution |
Answer: | As a few people have stated, this product is a rip off along with the other brands that make "fruit fly lures" because the ingredients are only (approx) 95% water 4.5% vinegar and .5% sodium lauryl sulfate which is found in many household items including toothpaste (ironically I know this bc I'm allegoric to every toothpaste on the market bc sodium lauryl sulfate is one of the major ingredients. I have to use CloSYS toothpaste bc its the only one without this. Anyway, the point is that these companies are ripping people off selling this stuff. Literally pour vinegar and some Dawn dish detergent in a bowl and get the same result. And as far as patented, they are only referring to the lure as you cannot patent these 3 chemicals together to make a product. Terro brand calls theirs a "special food based ingredient" but no where on the packaging I saw at Lowe's do they list ingredients anywhere which is odd except for the fact they don't want people to know its the same stuff they have in their homes. Here on amazon, Terro does list their ingredients on their packaging (interesting) which is the 3 ingredients I listed above plus has to have red food coloring bc its literally red. 100% RIP OFF; don't waste your money |

Answer: | Rinse the trap with water. Clean it out and start over with a clean trap. I have even orange juice and apple cider vinger and they work well. |
