Nothing ruins a summer evening meal in the garden or on the veranda like mosquitoes buzzing overhead. If swatting fails, try this proven natural trap that's simple, effective, and uses household items.
Lightly coat a plastic bowl with oil and swing it through the air—the mosquitoes stick fast. Here's the impressive result:
Contents 1. Take a plastic bowl.
2. Lightly brush the bowl with oil.
3. Shake the bowl in the air in the swarm of mosquitoes.
Lo and behold, those pesky mosquitoes are caught! This trick excels because the oil coats their wings, preventing escape.
Any cooking oil works—vegetable, olive, or canola—for reliable results every time.
