I modified what is shown on the web site. I used two plastic bottles. Cut the bottom off of one. Cut the top off of the second. Leave the cap on the one with the bottom cut off. Remove the cap on the top portion of the second one. Invert the cut off top portion and push it into the bottom of the one you cut the bottom off of. It should look like two funnels pointing the same way. Use black tape to secure the inverted funnel. Poke some holes to mount it with string/wire so the funnels are pointed down. I added a small roof in the cables to keep rain from diluting the mixture. Boil about a cup of water to get rid of the chlorine and add 4 tablespoons of sugar to the hot water. Let it cool, then put in a packet of yeast. Poor the mixture into the top. It will form a foam. Hang it in a shady spot away from the people you want to protect. The mixture will be used up in a few days. Use the cap on the bottom to let out the old mixture and dead bugs (you will get flys and other bugs along with mosquitoes. Recap and start all over again.
