HEALTH - LEARN TO MAKE A SIMPLE TRAP MOSQUITOES AND AGAINST DENGUE mosquitoes.

What we need is basically:
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:
One. Cut the plastic bottle (PET type) in half. Storing the neck portion:
2nd. Mix brown sugar with hot water. Let cool. When cold, pour in the bottom half of the bottle.
3rd. Add the yeast. No need to mix. It creates carbon dioxide.
4th. Place the funnel part, upside down, into the other half of the bottle.
5th. Wrap the bottle with something black, minus the top, and put in some corner of your house.

In two weeks you will see the amount of mosquitoes and mosquitoes who died inside the bottle. It is much better if you change this Mosquito Trap every week /weekly for better protection and sanitation. 
In addition to cleaning their homes, breeding sites of mosquitoes, we can use this method 

very useful in: Schools, Nurseries, Hospitals, homes, ranches, farms, nurseries. etc. Do not forget Dengue in the coming months: this mosquito can kill a person! from salve o planeta (spanish).

Check out all the mosquitoes possible breeding sites in the community, home,playground, and school.And by group effort of the community cleaning it has better and lower chance to breed and become a Dengue mosquito or any kind of mosquito that can cause illnesses such as malaria and chikungunya. 

Note:  The MOST important is Prevention is better than Cure.This is just some of the mosquito traps that we can make on our own but the most important is to clean up our surroundings inside and out of our home and community whether it is Summer or Rainy season. This is not a guarantee that it will protect you to dengue mosquito but it can minimize the chance;
 My eldest son got Dengue but my youngest son did not had it during the outbreak in our community and they went to the same school,they say it is probably because my youngest has stronger immune system back then 5 years ago. I do not know where he got it at home or at school, Very difficult when he was confined although I monitor his temperature and had brought him to his doctor right away and was advised for confinement immediately upon the diagnosis of the physician. Just shared my experience hope this could help.
