interesting idea. One question. What keeps the mosquitoes from flying right back out the way they came in? I want to use it in my backyard, where there is no real shade or dark place. Will just shielding it from the direct sun work as well?

The way I'd do it is to insert a 1/2"x 6" plastic pipe inside the opening and seal it with putty. Then hang it upside down with the mix inside with a coat hanger going through it. Some kind of cover might be nice. They look gross.

The dont get out

From what I have seen is when they get inside they get confused and die before they can get back out. We covered our with newspaper You have to have a low dark place... not only will they not be attracted in the light if the water get to hot it will kill the yeast and will stop working.
