2. Add 1 tablespoon yeast and stir thoroughly.

3. Cut a 2-liter plastic bottle in half along the neck.

4. Pour the mixture into the bottle’s lower section.

5. Create a funnel by placing the bottle’s top upside down on the bottom.

6. Place the trap in areas where you’ve seen mosquitos, such as near windows or on a balcony.

Step 2: Cockroach and Fly Repellent

Cockroaches and flies are frequently drawn to food waste and wet locations. To keep them away, try this natural repellant.
