Try making this Wasp and Hornet Trap. It works great! |
1.
Obtain a plastic bottle and draw the outline of the PVC pipe about 2" from the bottom. Cut out the opening. |
2.Insert the pipe into the opening and mark the opposite side. Cut out the opening. |
3. The trap should now look like this with the PVC pipe fitting snuggly. Don't glue the pipes to facilitate cleaning. Trim the PVC pipe to fit flush. | 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 placing the second PVC pipe at a right angle to the bottom pipe. |
5. Using a jig saw, remove the blackened area to make an "insert" for the bait. | 6. After cutting out the "inserts", smooth the edges with a file and replace into the bottle. |
7. Align the pipes with the bait inserts on top. | 8. Drill a hole through the top, attach a wire or string and you're done! |
Setting the
trap: You may use regular Coke, sugar water or apple cider for the fluid to attract the hornets. Put about 2" of the fluid into the bottle. |
Next, using
tweezers, place a small piece of raw meat like fish or beef into the slot of the PVC pipe. Hang it up and wait for the hornets to come. Guaranteed to work! |
