Mosquito eggs, larvae, and pupae all live in water, and their development and growth are inseparable from the presence of water. Therefore, the most effective way to control mosquitoes is to avoid stagnant water and clean up stagnant water to eliminate mosquito breeding and reproduction.
Tips: Prepare a bowl, pour in laundry detergent, sugar, and toilet water in turn, with a ratio of 1:1:2, then add a small amount of water to dissolve, and stir thoroughly.
After stirring well, take a paper towel, cut a hole in the middle, cover it on the bowl, and put it in a place where there are many mosquitoes in your home, and the mosquitoes will be attracted by the smell and throw themselves into the net.
