@@ZenGardenOasis. I just wish you would post your recipes written out in a lead comment. That would be great!👍💚 you are very special. Thank you for sharing.
It is spring here, and I've been using these traps for 5 weeks now. I have only two installed in my garden, one on either end, but my garden is not very large and they seem to be coping ok. Since I installed them, right at the start of spring, I have had next to no mosquitos in the house. Normally by this time of the year the mosquitos would be a real problem, affecting my sleep and biting frequently. This year so far, simply nothing. I have found that for best effectivity I have to replace the liquid and the blue cheese every two weeks - From just less than 3 weeks I start to see mosquitos again, so two weeks is the charm. I am so pleased that I have finally found a solution for this problem. It is extremely annoying and affects my perceived quality of life. I will be using this uninterrupted every summer from now on.
I am grtaeful for your comments - but they had the effect of prompting me to ask: I had assumed when I watched the video that setting up traps like this in the yard is really intended for people to like to eat out in their patio - whereas I am more concerned about first getting rid of mosquitoes from within the house. However, it seems to be implied from the above comments that eradicating them from the yard will protect the house also. Did I understand this correctly, and to what extent is this true and direct?
@@smyossef what I have found over a longer period of use is that in the early part of the season the traps were very effective in virtually eliminating mosquitoes from the house. As the season progressed into summer, I still saw a reduction of mosquitoes but not complete - there were still mosquitoes in the house, but fewer than there would normally be. Still worth putting out the traps, even if it is not a complete solution
When you drilled the holes in the cap I heard my shop teacher screaming at the top of his lungs... something obscene, lol. Thank you for the video and for all of your hard work.
Thank you for your video. I watched your repellent video and took notes. I have a repellent recipe that I will add your method to. I have been putting glycerine in mine. It is said to add to the time it is effective. Your mosquito killer method is similar to one I’ve used for three years. It combines yeast sugar and water. Salt is added which kills the mosquitos. It has worked well. I’m going to incorporate your info to make a better trap. Just subscribed! Looking forward to learning more. Your garden is beautiful. Love the bonsais.
Great video and beautiful backyard. I grew up in Central America doing all the outdoor activities and even caught malaria, but the mosquitos here in Florida are much worse with a bad attitude. I will try your system so when I go outside to have a cerveza or rum I won’t donate as much blood. Thanks.
Living in DE where it is soggy all the time makes this trap one I will be making this afternoon! By the way I also love the human repellent; Deet just isn't my go to repellent!
I found a few drops of T tree oil in any large buckets of water around the garden kills them off. Very interesting about vitamin D deficiency. Thank you
@@marcellasmith8942 I thought you made a typo and misspelled *bites* and you were being snarky about the bites being awesome! Thanks for the LOL, I needed that.
@@beckybrown3291 That is funny Becky, hehe. For those who don't know what the Mosquito Bits is, its a product you buy, like on Amazon, they are little granules that are like bits of the original donut-shaped bigger Mosquito Dunks, they have a sterile bacteria in them that is released in the water and live for the next 2 weeks, the bacteria kills mosquito larvae and then the bacteria dies off. A perfect way to sit up a mosquito 'trap' is put water in a 5-gallon bucket, put in the shade, put bits in them, and over the next week all the mosquitos will lay their eggs in the bucket because of the convenience of the bucket, and your mosquito population will drop dramatically. Dump out the water and replenish with bits every 14 days. I also sprinkle bits in water pans and such that is outside and collects water, that keeps them clean also. The bacteria is harmless to animals and people
I made the mistake of not spraying myself before sitting outside for a long phone call this evening & got bit 7 times including 1 on my forehead. So thank you for this !!!!!!
I've been using grapefruit seed oil to keep mosquitos off me, it seems to be working. I use it straight and also mix with a little water and rubbing alcohol to be able to spray it on my body and on the sheets.
to help keep them out of the house I spray around doors as well as grow citronella in planters by doors and around deck edges - high and low planters. Bloodsuckers really like me even though I really like garlic : P
Hello Mr. Host, thank you for your help and interest in sharing what you know to help others. I have brewers yeast that i ordered by accident. Is it a yeast that i can use in your mosquito recipe?
What about combining the mosquito traps and the wasp traps into 1 unit. They both have sugar water. Because wasps wound probability feed on the mosquito trap alone. So in addition to the dunks can you add boric acid and bacon?
@Zen Garden Oasis - you just gave me an idea !... I use bucket with some water and soap to Isley break the surface tension to trap and kill mosquitoes, but what o could do is make a yeast mixture in the bottom, then float a tray of soapy water on top ,the blue cheese sounds like a good idea 👍😊👍
I seem to remember hearing a few drops of oil will prevent mosquitoes from being able to land and stay on the surface tension of the water to lay their eggs. They’ll actually fall in and drown before they can lay their eggs. I presume this is correct.
Very informative, I love this kind of info. I don't know if you have an issue where you live with elm beetles, if you do would you please do a video on them. I hate those little pains and tried so many different ways to get rid of them but nothing is working.
There's a product called Dunks that is used to eliminate mosquitoes in large tanks and ponds it kills larva and is non-toxic for animals. I use half a Dunk in a 5 gallon bucket about 1/2 full moving 2 buckets around the garden as needed , I haven't seen a mosquito all summer when using this method. Mosquitoes tend to stay close to the ground so the buckets seem to work best on the ground.
@@harleydugan4010 and after one rain storm or even one day, the dunks stop working-a teaspoon of yeast and some sugar mixed works better and keeps working-then the water is fantastic for veggie plants
The concern I have with traps is, will it attract insects from acres away, that ordinarily would not be around your house. Years ago I bought fly traps from Home Depot. The traps were so effective that in a matter of days there were thousands of dead flies in the trap. There is no way all those flies were local to my property, and in fact were attracted to the awful scent from quite a distance away. If only we can get neighbors on board to also use the same techniques, it might actually be a long term solution.
@@UniquelyUbiquitous-yg3xl It was one of the smelly hanging bags with a funnel on top. Flies can get in, but no way out because wingspan to wide. Its called Resue now. It literally would fill up to the brim with dead flies in a couple days.
My understanding is that mosquito bits work for about 2 weeks in water and then you need to add more. If the weather is hot, then they may only last 1 week.
Two questions on my favorite topic: 1. Will nutritional yeast (the kind you sprinkle on popcorn) also create CO2? 2. Can this system be incorporated with my rain barrels somehow? Now I'm off to watch your repellent-spray video. Even indoors these pests are swarming around my chair and bed.
About the cheese: I once left some butter on a plate at the kitchen. It melted and stayed there for 3 or 4 hours. When I came back 6-7 mosquitos where on the dish attracted by the smell of the butter.
Thank you so much for taking time to show and explain how to make these traps, I greatly appreciate it! I really like your greenhouse as well, did you by any chance make a video showing how you built it? I also use mosquito dunks in my water catch basins AKA horse troughs and they work very well!
Thanks for posting. I tried many different variants of this sugar yeast traps. even painted the jugs black. Didnt kill one mosquito. What did I do wrong?
If you have electricity in your greenhouse, try using a woodburning tool for that because it will just go right around it melted you won’t have to fight with it like you were with a knife.
Thanks for your great video! Just curious, when you hang them up and check them every week how many mosquitoes do you find? I know it will vary of course. And do you have to scoop out the dead ones? Is there anything that would attract female mosquitoes more than the males?
Can you estimate how far away your traps are from where you sit outdoors? Yards or feet would help me decide the best place to hang the traps. Thank you for this video.
Thank you so very much. I'm worried about that west Nile virus. Will make one as soon as I can. There seems to be outbreaks at the moment. Thank you for your time & for sharing valuable information. I'm off in the woods too. Now to figure out how many I would have to make. Thanks again! 🤣🙂😄.
Hey, thanks for the ideas for getting rid of mosquitos and yellow jackets and hornets. I have a better idea for attracting mosquitos, which is a old well used to shirt. What do you think? I'm getting ready to make the mosquito trap today
That last mosquito spray works. I made some after I saw your video. My question is would these jugs work better than having a bat box? Does anyone know?
The place where you set the trap should have some light, especially at night, as it effectively attracts mosquitoes and other insects . Wish you success!
Be aware it is possible for those dunks to be dead. I scratched a while before checking and confirming i was breeding them instead of eradicating them. Do visually checkup and make sure your dunks arent dead.
I hope you're aware of that quite a lot of small birds, have mosquitos as their primary dish. Similar things have been tried before many places, but they stopped it, since we really don't want to extinguish all those birds
Research indicates that neither UV nor blue light attracts mosquitos. But they do attract many other types of insects. The small quantity of yeast he used won't generate enough CO2 to attract mosquitos. You would need a lot more yeast, and a source of food for the yeast, in a much bigger container to do that. The use of blue cheese is intriguing and might work, but needs testing.
* TRY Using a Hot tip of a soldering iron , wood burner to cut = slice through Plastic for More Control of the cuts & blades . Cleaner cut too ! Good Health , Enjoy yer summer . 👋. . . 👋
You said 1 tablespoon of yeast early in the video, then 1 teaspoon later on. Please clarify so that I can get the sugar/yeast ratio correct. Both times the sugar was 1/4 cup. Thanks.
The amount of yeast is not critical as they will multiply until all of the sugar is converted to CO2 and alcohol. Same process as making wine and beer.
Chew garlic and you can move around a horde of moquitos unscathed not a single bite....learned this from some Yemeni guys whilst in a mosquito infested area.
A few years ago I had a container that collected water and mosquito larvae. I put a dunk in there, new from store, not old or overheated. It didn't work. I don't know why. I waited over a day or two.
I have dozens of bonsai sitting in humidity trays. If I sprinkle a little of the bits in each one it stops them for about a month or a little longer. Perhaps the bits work better than dunks. Not sure though I have used both.
Used to live right next to a wetland. Mosquito haven. Every summer month I would throw donuts in the standing water and sprinkle bits around tall vegetation and moist ground. Worked really really well
Please let me know what your mosquito repellent is also as I am a magnet for them...I definitely need a working repellent and I don't like using Deet or that strong chemical stuff all over me.
I have done a lot of research on why I attract mosquitoes. I definitely quit wearing dark clothes outside. Apparently if you eat a lot of soured milk products like sour cream, yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese etc, your skin puts off a smell that the mosquitoes flock after. I am AB blood type and those are beneficial foods. Yep, they LOVE me. How about eating sour milk foods and wait a day and put a black T shirt on that is oversized, get extremely hot and sweat like CRAZY then cut that shirt up and use THAT as bait? I bet they will LOVE my black shirts. Normally I wear very light colored shirts to keep the heat down and avoid attracting mosquitoes. I will take my rattiest dark cotton shirt and wear it tomorrow and see how that works for my traps. Thank you!
Mosquitos go for people with a lot of sugar in blood (among other things) they were kamikazing on me when I had reached prediabetic state and now that I got it mostly under control they attack me 1/10 as often. Personally i'm waiting for the mini laser turrets with AI mosquito reckonition features xD
14:10 for those of us who are big into using natural safe ingredients, I think it’s important to note that those mosquito dunks and bits are a natural and safe bacteria that kills mosquito larvae but are safe for humans and animals.
@@jarrodedwards5819 Hi , Neem oil will brake the breading cycle of the mozzie and the bacillus thuriengenis is a bacteria that affects of stomach of caterpillars from what I remember
Ya those electric zapper traps kill millions of beneficial insect and do nothing about the pest. I'm going to try this one out. Seem like a logical trap for mosquito. Thanks for the video. I don't seem to get bit and i'm outside all the time, but friends visiting sometimes get bit and of course my wife get bit too so for sure going to try this trap.
Dumb question: You want a sweet bubbly substance, so why not use Sprite or 7-Up? Or is the yeast for a different purpose than bubbles? Just looking for a possible shortcut.
Soda goes flat in a few hours, which means it runs out of CO2. Yeast is a living organism that eats sugar and emits CO2. The yeast will stay alive for weeks, happily turning the sugar into a continual source of CO2 for the trap.

It doesn't kill adult mosquitos. The dunks kill the larvae in the water

Does the mixture kill the mosquitoes. He said eggs laid in the solution will not hatch. Didnt hear him say it will kill the mosquitoes
By killing the larvae your collapsing the population, hence killing the population.
Thanks for the idea 💡 going to try this tomorrow. 😊😊😊
Early in the video you say to use a tablespoon of yeast… Then towards the end you use a teaspoon. which is it? Thank you!
On the end is the Mosquito Bits
A tablespoon for the initial mixture and a teaspoon for adding to the mixture after a week or two.
I seem to recall that mosquitos are extremely attracted to something in the skin of beets, i will have to try it out
Use a blue incandescent bulb to heat limestone (chalk) to produce CO2 for super long time?

I get the part about attracting mosquitos but missed the part where they die. Do you add soap, or another substance, to the water?
The mosquitos lay eggs in the trap. The mosquitos bite prevent them from maturing into biting adults.

Bats are great in eating mosquito. Don’t think they get them all.
Lol, my Dad and my uncle made bug zappers too!
Eating a lot of garlic helps repel mosquitos but also works on other humans who don't like you smelling like garlic...
Only the ones who suck the blood out of you....
Last year I ate garlic with everything, I didn't have one bite all summer. This year not much garlic 🧄 and they are me up.😳
But too much can give you a bad case of anemia.
An apple a day keeps a doctor away. An onion a day keeps everyone away. Same logic 😉😂
Wrong, I use garlic on just about everything, and I get eaten up by them.
Great info thank you for your time!
The place where you set the trap should have some light, especially at night, as it effectively attracts mosquitoes and other insects . Wish you success!
He said they are attracted to blue light
For the holes you could use a solder Iron, and also to cut the plastic smoothly... Watching you with the Carpenter knife made me squirm 🥹
Be aware it is possible for those dunks to be dead. I scratched a while before checking and confirming i was breeding them instead of eradicating them. Do visually checkup and make sure your dunks arent dead.
I had no idea!
I never thought of that!
I hope you're aware of that quite a lot of small birds, have mosquitos as their primary dish. Similar things have been tried before many places, but they stopped it, since we really don't want to extinguish all those birds

Please let me know what your mosquito repellent is also as I am a magnet for them...I definitely need a working repellent and I don't like using Deet or that strong chemical stuff all over me.
Mugwort
GREAT Job! √√ Keep it up! √√
Thank you! Cheers!
I have done a lot of research on why I attract mosquitoes. I definitely quit wearing dark clothes outside. Apparently if you eat a lot of soured milk products like sour cream, yogurt, kefir, cottage cheese etc, your skin puts off a smell that the mosquitoes flock after. I am AB blood type and those are beneficial foods. Yep, they LOVE me. How about eating sour milk foods and wait a day and put a black T shirt on that is oversized, get extremely hot and sweat like CRAZY then cut that shirt up and use THAT as bait? I bet they will LOVE my black shirts. Normally I wear very light colored shirts to keep the heat down and avoid attracting mosquitoes. I will take my rattiest dark cotton shirt and wear it tomorrow and see how that works for my traps. Thank you!
They also love ginger, as a redhead the dam things go round people to get to me😮
How far apart should they be from one another?
"be careful with the knife" but then proceed to drill directly at your hand.
Mosquitos go for people with a lot of sugar in blood (among other things) they were kamikazing on me when I had reached prediabetic state and now that I got it mostly under control they attack me 1/10 as often.
Personally i'm waiting for the mini laser turrets with AI mosquito reckonition features xD
Some people use dish detergent.
where to get those little bags?
Check the description I think they’re linked.
14:10 for those of us who are big into using natural safe ingredients, I think it’s important to note that those mosquito dunks and bits are a natural and safe bacteria that kills mosquito larvae but are safe for humans and animals.
How about for bees?
@@JillofAllTrades2 yes it is safe for bees as well as all other beneficial insects.
So these don’t trap the mosquitoes, but just kills the eggs they lay?
You can use neem oil as that is the active ingredient in the dunks
I think it's Bacillus thuriengensis. I don't know how the endospores actually kill the larvae though
@@jarrodedwards5819 Hi ,
Neem oil will brake the breading cycle of the mozzie and the bacillus thuriengenis is a bacteria that affects of stomach of caterpillars from what I remember
I'm going to try this tomorrow. Debby came through and left us about 5" of rain.
Has it worked? We got massive flooding from Debby and the mosquitoes are out of control!
Ya those electric zapper traps kill millions of beneficial insect and do nothing about the pest. I'm going to try this one out. Seem like a logical trap for mosquito. Thanks for the video. I don't seem to get bit and i'm outside all the time, but friends visiting sometimes get bit and of course my wife get bit too so for sure going to try this trap.
Dumb question: You want a sweet bubbly substance, so why not use Sprite or 7-Up? Or is the yeast for a different purpose than bubbles? Just looking for a possible shortcut.
Soda goes flat in a few hours, which means it runs out of CO2. Yeast is a living organism that eats sugar and emits CO2. The yeast will stay alive for weeks, happily turning the sugar into a continual source of CO2 for the trap.
The yeast converts sugar to CO2 which attracts the mosquitoes.
You are correct ... While it still fizzes
Best video I’ve seen on this subject.
Thanks so much…..cheers
Queen Q, Didn’t your Mama teach you if you cannot say anything nice, please do not say anything at all!! I really appreciate what he shares, seems like a wonderful guy!💜
I’m just an old lump of coal….maybe someday I’ll be a diamond. 😂
I recommend putting this info in a 2 minute video. You will have more subscribers. I played it at twice the speed and even then kept scrolling forward. Then we don't even know what happens to the mosquitoes, do they drown?
I didn't see how you attached the mesh bag
