found this on fb ..thought i'd share

LEARN TO MAKE A SIMPLE MOSQUITOES TRAP :
Using chemical mosquito repellents available in the market, has serious harmful effects on human brain and lungs.
Instead make your own Mosquito trap at home. The picture shows how many mosquitoes it can kill in a week's time.

Items needed:
200 ml water
50 grams of brown sugar,
1 gram of yeast (yeast bread, found in any supermarket) and a 2-liter plastic bottle. [...]

How to make :
* Cut the plastic bottle (PET type) in half. Storing the neck portion:
* 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.
* Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle.
* Wrap the bottle with something black, minus the top, and put in some corner of your house.

In a week you will see the amount of mosquitoes and mosquitoes who died inside the bottle.
Very useful and zero harm effect Mosquito repellent is ready.

Hi Giuseppina

Can’t try it yet. It’s still far too cold for mosquitos? Down to 0° C in the coming night brrrrrrr. I'd wish to be in Malta. Will give you my feedback when the mosquitos arrived.

Take care

Hi giusidda,

Sadly, I don't think this actually works.



Always worth a try - can't hurt, right? But unfortunately unlikely to actually do much. Would be interesting to hear from someone here who's tried it.

Well, thanks for letting us know at least. I reckon the only real solution is to get insect blinds... Good luck though.

Anyone know of a reliable (read as not too expensive)supplier of mosquito roller blinds for doorways?

I think you will find that roller blinds for doors will not be very efficient for keeping out mosquitoes as the gap at the side will allow then to get in. You need a sliding or hinged net door to keep the little blighters out.
Get a couple of quotes from yellow pages or try this firm (just had a flier this morning so never used them)Aluserv ltd .

Thanks Terry. Their business premises are just down the road from us - I have sent them an email to get an idea of prices.

Good tip about mosquito trap but to late for me. Have been bitten three times in the last week and the itch was driving me mad so searched online for any remedies and found this natural one.

Rub the infected area with the inside of banana skin (this is no joke) i tried and within 5 mins itching had stopped and swelling and redness was significantly reduced the next morning. They say its the potassium in the banana that does the trick but it works so in future i wont be running to the chemist i will be heading to the nearest fruit shop, you also have the added advantage of eating the banana

They say it works on a whole range of insect bites but i have only tried on mosquito bite.

Hope this helps
