Cut the top off a 2 liter bottle. Invert the cone and place it inside the s...traight part of the bottle. Glue the two pieces together. Add 1 tsp yeast and 1/2 cup sugar to some luke warm water, and pour the mixture into the bottle. Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide that you exhale. The yeast feeds off the sugar and emits the same gas, so the mosquito enters the bottle, thinking they will find food there.
The most effective mosquito control is to rid your property of standing water. Don't forget about your pond. Stock Gambasia's (Mosquitofish), a live birthing variety of minnow) who eat 100's of times their weight in mosquito larvae - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosquitofish. Just as important is to use Mosquito Dunks (donuts) in both your pond, water features and lowlands - http://www.homedepot.com/p/12-in-Mosquito-Dunks-6-Pack-110-12/100334779#.UU-DI2t5mSM. . For personal protection use a high quality insect repellant.
Have a happy and mosquito free summer!
