Home Made Mosquito Trap

We got this information from Vivian Robbins. It sure makes sense and cheaper than a bug zapper.
--------------------------------

Have you noticed Mosquitoes are already out?  This is a homemade trap to help keep you from being a blood donor!
               HOMEMADE MOSQUITO TRAP
1 cup hot water
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 gram of yeast
a 2-liter bottle
Cut the plastic bottle in half.
Mix brown sugar with hot water.  Let cool.  When cold, pour in the bottom half
of the bottle.
Add the yeast. No need to mix.  It creates carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes.
Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle, taping them together
if desired.Wrap the bottle with something black, heaving 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.
