You must be curious as to how this technique works. It is pretty simple, actually. Mosquitos are attracted by carbon dioxide-generating sources like animals and human beings. The mix of yeast and sugar gives rise to carbon dioxide at a slow and steady rate. This, in turn, attracts those blood thirsty mosquitos to the bottle with a vengeance. Eventually, they end up in the water and fall prey to the trap.
So give it a shot and let us know in comments about how it worked for you.
