Homemade Mosquito Trap

Hi Everyone,
I saw this great and awesome mosquito trap on facebook  and wanted to share it with you!!
http://www.facebook.com/homesteading is the page I saw this on, they are always posting really cool stuff on this page!

Materials:
2 liter bottle
glue

1 tsp yeast
1/2 cup sugar
lukewarm water

Instructions:
Cut the top off a 2 liter bottle. Invert the cone and place it inside the straight part of the bottle. Glue the two pieces together. Add 1 tsp yeast and 1/2 cup sugar to some luke warm water, and pour the mixture into the bottle. Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide that you exhale. The yeast feeds off the sugar and emits the same gas, so the mosquito enters the bottle, thinking it will find food there and is trapped.
