Also worth considering: though you get a similar CO2 trap with baking soda, that would be a COST of a few dollars a week, only yielding a small amount of chicken-feed and avoiding malaria and bites in general. Instead, brewing beer (or fruit wine into vinegar) generates a revenue from inputs, WHILE eliminating malaria. This is also categorically better than Bed Nets, because those only protect you in BED; the mosquitoes are still flying around everywhere!
