To make a trap you will need:

a 2l bottle

beer (1-2dl)

thread, fishing line etc. (optional)

Of course you can change the amount of ingredients depending on the size or your personal feeling.

To prepare the bottle cut the top of and put it inside the other part(as seen in the picture) then put 2 little holes on opposite sides of the edge to fit some kind of a thread or a fishing line to be able to hang it from a tree, lamp, fence...(it doesn't have to be hanged but I usually put it that way)

Filling the Bottle

Put some beer inside the bottle (don't put too much, it doesn't make it more powerful), and add about a tablespoon or 2 of sugar.
