DIY mosquito trap

I have just seen this on Instructables and thought I'd pass it on.

That's really interesting, do you think it will work?

Question is would it keep the blighters away if you hung one up nearby?

Well, looking at it, I don't see a reason why it shouldn't work. The trap releases CO2 which attracts the mosquitoes... I've seen commercial traps like that catch mosquitoes incredibly effective and made otherwise inhabitable places almost mosquito-free.
