Simple mosquito trap, now it will be easy to reduce the mosquitoes!

You will only need:
• 1 printed trap
• Water
• 4 spoons of brown sugar
• 15g of yeast

Instructions
1. Print the trap
2. Stick your printed part in your garden, in a flowerpot or whatever you want to reduce the mosquito population!
3. Boil the water and dissolve completely the Brown sugar
4. Wait until the water with sugar has cooled
5. Sprinkle the yeast on the mixture, but do not stir it
6. Throw the mix in the printed trap
7. Empty and refill the water every two weeks

How does it work?
1. The mix of yeast, water and sugar will produce CO2 and mosquitoes like it! They think CO2 comes from an animal or human breathing
2. Mosquitoes go inside the trap…but they can’t find the way out

Main advantages:
• Not material support will be needed for printing the trap
• Minimum material will be used for printing the piece (Generative Design has been used to reduce the mass thanks to Solid Edge)
• Ecological if PLA is used (It is biodegradable and derived from renewable resources, such as chips or starch)
• And the most important…IT WORKS!!!
