1. Plastic Bottle Trap:

  • Materials needed: plastic bottle, tape, saucepan, water, and sugar.
  • Cut the bottle just below the neck to create two parts, placing one inside the other to form a funnel shape.
  • Secure the parts with tape.
  • Dissolve 5 tablespoons of sugar in water, bring it to a boil, and let it cool before pouring it into the bottle.
  • Leave the trap in the sun or warm it with your hands for optimal effectiveness.
  • Optionally, add a slice of apple to the bottle for a different attractant.
