I have been following this DIY project and, in fact, posted this from Smithsonian Magazine about it on my FB: http://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/how-to-build-mosquito-trap-from-old-tire-180958954/?no-ist


The info I have found is that it is the lack of need for any additional material that makes it so important in poor areas. "In Guatemala, Ulibarri also added an “attractant” that he invented. It uses milk-based natural compounds to lure the A. aegypti.

The water from the ovillanta can also be reused as a natural attractant. According to Ulibarri, egg-laying mosquitoes release natural pheromones, which accumulate and concentrate in the water over time."
