The mosquito is attracted to CO2. In your question you wanted a home made trap — so you can make CO2 from sugar and yeast. Once you have the CO2 you then need a one way trap — see some of the trap designs below. Also, see some of the commercial products in the links below for more design ideas.
Another solution is to remove the still water around your property (gutters) to reduce the breeding areas.

Mosquito repellant – rub garlic all over yourself!
Mosquito trap – hang strips of sticky tape on the ceiling – everywhere!
