Instructions:
1. Cut the plastic bottle in half. Keep the bottom part larger.
2. Mix the brown sugar with hot water. Let it cool and then pour it into the bottom half of the bottle.

5. Wrap the bottle with something black (mosquitoes are attracted to dark colors), leaving the top uncovered.
6. Place the trap in a dark, humid place.
7. Change the solution every two weeks for best results.
