By plus.google.com/1051534189569166

HOW DOES IT WORK?

  • Mosquitoes will be attracted to accumulated water and lay their eggs in a piece of cloth for spawning.
  • Once the mosquito larvae has hatched, they will drop into the water to become adults.
  • When the mosquitoes are full grown, they will be too large to fly out and will be trapped inside by a T-shirt.
