Mosquito Control & Mosquito-borne Disease

[Carey]

You can use any type of sugar(s), as the mosquito attractant is the CO2 off-gas provided by the yeast (and the yeast is utilizing the sugar(s) as it does for most yeasty things....)

As ant can also be attracted to sugar(s) and fermentation( what will happen when yeast, sugar(s) and water are mixed), a dish of soap or water would help keep the ant invasion down (have no idea if adding boric acid or other borates would create a "double trap"!)

Back in the last century, I did field work trapping mosquitoes in Dry Ice traps (we needed to ID them, so a "dry" trap was better than a fermenting trap...) Same sort of idea (Those were 'pro' models & were usually hung near high skeeter water holes)
