3 DIY Mosquito Trap Comparison Yeast vs Soap vs Borax
Vložit
- čas přidán 16. 07. 2018
- I compared 3 DIY Mosquito traps that are mentioned heavily in articles and videos across the internet to kill and get rid of Mosquitoes. I used traps using yeast, soap, and borax. The results are kind of predictable. You can use big fan with a Mesh to catch mosquitoes which uses a lot of energy or buy a mosquito magnet device that attracts and kills mosquitoes. However, the best way to repel mosquitoes is to plant herbs like lavender, mint, basil, rosemary, and thyme.

Let me know if any mosquito trap you tried worked for you. Here is the update to this video with improvement to the traps and a DIY Trap that actually works: czcams.com/video/xzreXPlMV7Q/video.html
Daisy Creek Farms Do notify us about it.
Hello Jag, I was watching few of your videos about mosquito and ants problem in your backyard, I was wondering if you ever tried garlic spray for mosquito and also I try sugar/boric acid/water mix for the ants problem , ants are completely gone.
Thanks for all of your informative videos.
Good luck
I spent a whole summer out in the middle of nowhere in hot humid weather as a camp nurse and got 2 mosquito bites without using anything. After inquiring I learned they had several bat boxes around the property. Bats apparently really like to eat mosquitos. If you live in the city, this may not work for you but you could always ask your local DNR, or extension office. Also, this year I've used peppermint & vanilla spray and it seems to work but the mosquitoes aren't really out yet here.
Thanks for the update!
Jag check your property for standing water sources and get rid of the water. I notice the mosquito you have in one of the videos is an Aedes species. These mosquitos tend to develop in small items holding water around the yard. Check with your local vector control district to see what they can do.
Terro for ants
Mosquitos are really smart nowdays. They watch and learn from youtube how to avoid mosquitos trap
reza1484 lay Lol
Those are tiger mosquitoes!
They come from a tiger mom.
Haha They are very smart watching CZcams !
.. meanwhile they’re busy caring West Nile😢
LOL I bet they are using my wifi as well to watch CZcams !!! teeheeeee
Dammm data sucking mosquitos.....
Hot damn. A CZcamsr approached something scientifically and had the integrity to post negative results. Subscribed.
ditto
Hopefully saw his follow up: czcams.com/video/xzreXPlMV7Q/video.html . Legit methods.
And I.
These don't trap, they drink and fly and die. He's a CZcamsr with no idea what he is doing
@@bryanpinta6557 agree
No mosquitoes were harmed during the making of this video
Dang it 😔
One, actually
:((((
When you realize you have much more likes than the CZcamsr
That's sad.
You know, I'm disappointed that I watched a video where none of the traps work.
But really, this is useful information. Thanks for posting it.
Was completely useless as THEY AREN'T TRAPS!!
I just cut off a piece of my skin and put it in a bottle. It WORKS!!
Nah I cut my limbs and put them in a bottle
😂 funny
Mosquitoes aren't attracted to skin
They are attracted to breath
That is how it's done. My man!
@@harrid14mei yes, that's why to get mosquitoes to not bite me I dont breathe
Thanks for taking the time to experiment, document it and share your results.
Thank you for giving the reasons why certain ingredients and processes were used. Explaining the logic makes you very credible.
very labor-intensive, props to your scientific process of making multiple bottles in various places!
It's hardly labor intensive lol
Thank you for your honest research. Personally I would buy a mosquito magnet. It is better to attract all of them into a trap. They’re outside all the time and I’m outside part of the time.
Love the scientific approach. I am going to have my grandsons watch this and make some "traps" to see if we can find something that works. Excellent presentation.
Suzanne Jefferson dose that work have you done it? aA few mosquitos are in my house and kept me up all night buzzing lol I’m willing to try anything at this point for sleep 😂
At last , an honest guy, ! Speaks the simple truth, 👍🏼
finally someone who did a real test on mosquito traps, ad and a real good video. Nice work !
Great videos, thanks for your testing and informed feedback on what works and just as importantly what doesn’t.
I like the practicable approach proving the methods shown do not work. Thank you!
Subscribed, because your honest time and effort in making this video.
We will travel to Mars soon but can't get rid of mosquitos.
Just stumbled on this. Great comparison. Thanks for doing this video
That is a very positive twist on the end.
Excellent Video, Well Done!!
It's the Basil that's why the Mosquitos are back. The last couple of years I had a Basil plant growing by the back patio, it died this last winter and I got rid of it. That's why the Mosquitos are back!!
In addition to adding sugar to the yeast bottle for food, you have to use water that is about 110°F to activate the yeast.
Used your comment in the new video :) Made a new video by improving these traps and placing these traps in the dark and also made a DIY mosquito trap that works czcams.com/video/xzreXPlMV7Q/video.html
There’s an annoying ass mosquito that’s been dissipating my sleep for weeks.. I swear I killed this thing like 5 times
Same problem here! Thanks so much for your time.
Did a 5.8 mile hike on the bold coast trail in maine yesterday, June 24th. Supposedly its been raining for weeks up here. We were sprinting the last 2.8 miles from swarms of mosquitoes. We all have 100s of bites. So far none of us are sick.
2:51 Bug actually lands on his hand as he is holding trap. Huge slap to the face.
This was a great video, very informative and helpful. Thanks so much!
Very informative and thanks for sharing your experiment 😊
Great video. Great methods. Legend. Actually helpful. Thank you.
i plant pot, they never come around, but they attract cops😳
🤣😂🤣
what did you planted ???
Weed
Should live in Canada - you can legally have (only) 4 cannabis plants growing in your yard :-p
😂lol😂
Jag Singh, well investigated and presented. One of the best, especially from India. Well done !
You crushed my hopes.... with an experiment. Well thanks for saving me the efforts! I'll plant some basil!
Thank you for your advise, I'm going for a huge bugwacker now, I know they work 👍🏻😍
Thanks for the testing & sharing.
Love your experiment. Good job!
Thanks for an honest test and info. Very informative
Thanks for the conclusive info. There are a billion misquitos attacking me everynight. Whats weird is, although its one plant each i have lavander basil ond minl all within 20 ft of where i sit and im getting ate up.
Thanks for taking the time to debunk these useless traps!
They. Are. Not. Traps.
Very well done, sir!
Sweet and to the point. Great video! Bravo 👏
Thank you from France here nowadays it's the tiger mosquito and it's a plague. Thanks for your time and effort.
Keep in mind that spraying neem oil around the yard actively endangers pollinators. My wife and I use it for some pests, but we're very careful not to use it near any flowers/pollen sources- and even then, pollinators do land on random leaves, stalks, etc. so are still at risk.
Thanks for the info. CZcams should follow your honesty & integrity. God bless you
Super simple and little to no cost, learned from a different video, place water where they thrive but add a drop or so of dawn liquid. It makes the water slippery somehow prevents them laying eggs, or causes them to become infertile. Whatever the reason it works for me
What works? Screens, long sleeve shirts, and water with soap in a spry bottle takes mosquitos out of mid air and they drop like rocks.
Clear colored clothes help a lot.
Thank you for saving me the time and trouble.
Thank you. That was awesome
Good video . . . Love the Pure, Honesty, as well as the thoroughness of your test
What?!?!? He didn't even know what he was testing!!!! The fact you found it informational and intelligent is the truly scary thing
Great video, short succinct and very informative
I have 3 of these on my terrace. I painted the outside black since mosquitos like to hide in dark places. I used yeast and brown sugar and it works. Once a week I empty them, wash the base and refill them. You have to put the bottle top upside down like a funnel. once they are in they can't get out so they will die.
That's key. The trap has to be dark. This guy's clear bottles are not alluring to mosquitos.
Good informative video with real life experiment. Good answer to the videos showing impractical magic traps.
😮wow thank you. You've save me time and hassle thank you
Gotta love the herbs
Dude you are the best. Thanks for posting this.😂😂😂😂😂
Good experiment. Saved me time.
Your the best, I can't believe I found your video.
I have 2 basil plants, a lavender plant, rosemary, thyme, and mint growing in an indoor tent, and I have mosquitos problems in the tent.
Thank you. Very informative
The mossies in my garden love lavender and rosemary 😌 I often find swarms of them in there.
Though you might want to try this indoors, as it may be different. From my experience, I can't have a glass of soda or milk without a lid, without finding one or two mosquitos in it after a while. I also left some clothing dipped in water once with clothing soap, and it attracted quite a few, which was unfortunate in that case. Not saying the traps should work effectively. I have no idea. I'm just saying they might have some effect indoors.
Extensively informative video
Well done thanks!
I have a Bell and Howell bug zapper that works well at reducing the number of bugs, still use coils when working when Mosquito's are bad.
Very Informative. Thank you from NE 🇮🇳
I love your content man
Well research!!! 👍
Thank You Jag, That saved me time from trying the experiment.
FYI-The new little ankle biter mosquitos in California don’t mind my mint or rosemary plants. The love hanging out in the rosemary. Just my experience.
Great test-thanks for sharing.
Damn I can’t believe those little suckers got to California! I suffered with those things in Sri Lanka like crazy.
With my experience brewing wine it has to be 70 to 86f has to be place in a dark spot and the yeast will eat the sugar and poop out co2 and alcohol but I'd use an are lock so it stays pooping out co2
If you really want to catch mosquitoes in the vicinity and willing to spend some money for it, mosquito magnet truly works.
You had me as soon as you went to the 3x3 experimentation model - scientific method!
In this world, have to be factual, and have right data! Glad you caught it :)
J, thank you so much for sharing n right to the 🎯
Very right. U hv said in video
I like the way you talk.
Thank u for information...!
Tnx,u save my time and money
Thank you!!
I've used the yeast one before, inside the house. It definitely works, but can take up to 24 hours to catch that really annoying mosquito you can't seem to catch.
Thank you, for doing this, I was going to do this. I do not want to attract them.
Mosquitoes like it dark, so a Japanese guy tried the yeast and put the bottle in a black bag that seem to work . I do catch more that way. I have mint and mint balm planted here also. Gutter guard after rain also keeps them away.
Good idea, i will try keeping the traps dark next time.
Made a new video by improving these traps and placing these traps in the dark and also made a DIY mosquito trap that works czcams.com/video/xzreXPlMV7Q/video.html
Thanks a lot.
the water and soap trap should be much larger. Your goal with that trap is to mimic a laying pool for the mosquito to lay the larva in. Once the mosquito trays to land on the water due to the soap breaking the water tension it won't be able to land on the water and it will drown. A wheel barrel full of water with some soap mixed in (no bubbles on the surface of the water though) and that will be way more effective than a small bottle of water.
Lol as if I can just leave that size lying around in my house 🤣 but if I gotta do that I’ll do it
nice logic dudeeee
Thanks for this video
I sometimes hang clothes out on my patio to dry. The next morning they are covered with mosquitos. I have to shake them off before I take the dry clothes inside. So maybe hanging up a sheet of fabric with a tacky surface might work.
are you using fabric softener? They heavily attract mosquitos. I learnt from experience
This is hilarious to me, because I have been making homemade mosquito traps for years now, and THEY WORK GREAT!!! I use Yeast, Brown Sugar, and Water. That's all!! Except one thing different. I use black construction paper to wrap the plastic bottle. The mixture of brown sugar and yeast produces CO2, which is what attracts the mosquitos (and other insects looking for blood) CO2 oozes from our pores, and from our breath. This mosquito trap works. Im not sure what your problem was/is.
I don't think he used all 3 ingredients in one trap. He only used yeast and water, no sugar or brown sugar. You need to add the sugar and yeast to create the CO2.
Any chance you could post your amounts of the ingredients you use? Or maybe even a quick video on making your setup?
I didn't catch not even one mosquito with the same trap, maybe it depends on the mosquito type, or maybe the yeast used does not have the component required, the only difference is that I see is that I used regular sugar
Thanks for trying it out for us! I really need a solution. Mosquitos are feting bad around here this summer.
Thanks definitely gonna use neem oil, it works pretty well on caterpillars for a short time
Thank you! Will you do one for flies please?
Good job!
Great scientific approach, well done
Thank you !!!
Good video. I tried traps too and none of them worked.
greenlight does work👍
Spray diluted dettol at the entrance or on body. Miracle
Looks like I’m gonna have to plant a herb garden in my room.
IRISH SPRING bar soap the standard regular scent repels them, and you can use you same method and put Joy lemon scent liquid soap in them & the skeeters will go for it
I'm in East Africa and still waiting for the locals to discover the common window screen. Should be any day now.
I have screens but they do not work if I venture outside!!
@@ritacouchcooper2842 I have screens and they do not work INSIDE.
Thank you 🙏🏻
You should test spraying essential oils and planting herbs next, because I am convinced they are similarly ineffective…particularly the herbs. I’ve been bitten by multiple mosquitoes while sitting on a patio surrounded by lemongrass, rosemary, oregano, and other herbs.
I uses Irish Spring Soap i magically repels alot of bugs wasps too and will also keep birds from building nests on porches
Thanks.
