A woman from Fujian, China has gained attention for her nearly zero-cost mosquito trap, which caught an astonishing number of mosquitoes. The woman, known as Chen, shared a video of her DIY mosquito light on social media, using discarded mosquito nets, a UV light, and a fan to successfully trap around 60 mosquitoes in just 5 hours.

Living near a wetland park, she faced an increase in mosquitoes during the summer. Traditional mosquito coils or electric repellents proved ineffective, prompting her to create a trap. Chen researched various DIY mosquito traps online, integrated other people's ideas, and figured out how to utilize the mosquitoes' attraction to light, heat, and sensitivity to carbon dioxide. This led her to repurpose discarded mosquito nets into an eco-friendly, practical device that poses no chemical risks, making it safer for households with elderly and children.

Her mosquito trap generated discussions online, inspiring numerous followers to recreate it, reporting satisfying results. Many praised Chen's creativity and hands-on spirit, with suggestions to improve the design, such as increasing wind speed or using a black background to enhance mosquito attraction.
