Hornet and Wasp Trap
Thoroughly wash out an empty 2 - liter soda bottle with plain body of water .
bring down the top off of the bottle . Use a sharp knife and make the cut cautiously at the item where the slope of the bottle begin to even out with the width of the bottle . On most 2 - cubic decimeter soda bottles , this full point is just above the label .
property bait in the bottom of the bottle . Beer , sugary tonic , fruit juice , and vino are some examples of good white Anglo-Saxon Protestant and hornet bait . Place about 2 inches of bait into the bottom of the nursing bottle .
Step 4
Situate the top part of the bottle that you slue off upside down into the bottom part of the bottle ( without the pileus ) . check that the two pieces match snugly with one another . put on a few pieces of duct tape along the edges if the pieces are not snug .
Step 5
Place the sand trap in places you ’ve seen wasp . The idea is for the wasps and hornet to fly down into the funnel of the ambush to get to the bait and drown before they can get out .
Step 6
Empty the trap and refill it with new come-on every few days , or as you start to see dead worm in the bottle . commit the snare in a large bucketful of body of water for about 30 hour before emptying it to ensure all the wasps and hornet are dead before you clean it out .

Warning
Avoid spraying the repellent spray directly on the pelt . Do not spray the repellant in the eye or oral fissure . Never chase wasps or hornet to examine to kill them . They are aggressive worm and will only get furious if you chase them .
