Place the dish in areas where mosquitoes are prevalent. The carbon dioxide produced from the reaction between baking soda and vinegar attracts mosquitoes.

Why This Method Works:
Mosquitoes are attracted to carbon dioxide, which humans exhale, making us prime targets. The reaction between baking soda and vinegar produces carbon dioxide, drawing mosquitoes toward the dish and away from you. This method is environmentally friendly and avoids the use of harsh chemicals found in many commercial repellents.
Additional Tips for Mosquito Control:
Eliminate Standing Water: Mosquitoes breed in stagnant water. Regularly check and empty any pots, old tires, buckets, or any container that can hold water.
Natural Repellents: Consider planting mosquito-repellent plants such as citronella, lavender, and marigolds around your home.
