FAQs:
Q: Does this trap kill mosquitoes or just catch them?
A: It traps and eventually kills them by dehydration or drowning. Once inside, they can't escape.
Q: Is it safe for children and pets?
A: Yes! It's non-toxic and chemical-free, making it safe to use around kids and animals.
Q: How long before I notice fewer mosquitoes?
A: Most people notice a difference within 24–48 hours, especially in enclosed spaces.
Q: Can I use white sugar instead of brown sugar?
A: Brown sugar works best due to the molasses content, which activates the yeast more effectively. However, in a pinch, white sugar can still attract some mosquitoes.
