So if you’ve been stung by a wasp, then you know that it’s time to take action. Wasps have the ability to sting multiple times, and will do so repeatedly as a last resort. However, it can be frightening just to observe several wasps flying around your home or office. They are known to patrol, looking for food and water sources, which would make any one of your local grocery stores an ideal tunnel for their nests. Luckily, there is an easy and safe way to exterminate these unsociable insects: you can easily make a homemade wasp trap using common household items You don’t need to call the exterminator or visit the store only to waste money on materials that are overpriced. That’s one of the great things about these homemade traps — they’re cheap! Follow along as we show you how to make a homemade wasp trap using just two liter bottles and some vinegar If you’ve got a lot of wasps buzzing around your home or yard, then you definitely want to learn how to make a wasp trap. We’ll show you how to make a wasp trap using just a few items that can be found at any grocery store. Make sure you choose a bottle around the 2-liter size and keep in mind that it must be made out of plastic.

How To Make A Wasp Trap Out Of A 2 Liter Bottle

Introduction

Wasp traps can be a great way to control wasp infestations, but they can also be expensive. Fortunately, you can make your own trap at home using a two-liter soda bottle and other common household items. This simple DIY project will take less than an hour AND is as cheap as it is environmentally friendly!

Here is what you will need:

To make a wasp trap out of a 2 liter bottle, you will need:

• A sharp object to cut the bottle with (lighter, scissors or knife).
• String, wire or other device to hang the trap with. This can be a simple piece of string tied around both handles of the bottle. Alternatively, finding twine and threading it through both handles is another option. Any material that allows for easy hanging without stretching is sufficient for this purpose.
• Glue (such as epoxy) to keep all pieces together once disassembled

2 liter plastic soda bottle

A 2 liter plastic soda bottle is the ideal size to use. You’ll want to make sure the bottle you choose is clear so that you can see the wasps flying around inside of it. In addition, plastic bottles are easy to cut and shape with scissors or a utility knife.

Finally, a soda bottle makes an excellent trap because it doesn’t have any sharp edges that could hurt someone if they accidentally stepped on it or dropped it on their foot!

Sharp object to cut bottle with, like a box cutter or sharp scissors

This is the most important step. You must use a sharp object to cut the bottle with, like a box cutter or sharp scissors. If you try to do it with a regular pair of scissors, you will probably not be able to cut all the way through and your bottle trap will not work properly. If you have other options for cutting bottles, such as using a knife or drill, please choose one of those because they are safer and easier than using box cutters and scissors. Be careful while doing this step!

Don’t try any other methods of cutting bottles besides these two; they don’t work well enough for wasp traps!

String, wire, or other device to hang the bottle with.

The next thing you’ll need to prepare is a hanging mechanism. You can use string or wire to hang the trap, but make sure it’s sturdy enough to hold the weight of liquid and insects. Be careful not to stretch it too tight, as this could cause breakage over time. It’s also important that you don’t secure the trap too low; otherwise, wasps might be able to reach it before being trapped inside. The ideal height is about five feet off the ground in an area where there are a lot of wasps (for example if you’re trying this method after seeing them flying around near your porch).

Here is what you do:

• Cut the bottom off of a 2 liter soda bottle.
• Carefully cut the middle out of the top of the bottle, leaving about 1/4 inch around it.
• Cut a hole in one side of the cut-off bottom, as shown in Figure 3.
• Put everything back together with tape and glue (if needed), remembering not to make it too tight or too loose, so that it holds firmly but still opens easily when you want to empty out your trap!
• Hang your homemade wasp trap somewhere outside where there are lots of flying insects—wasp traps get more effective as they fill up with dead wasps, so hang them where they’ll be well-hidden by foliage if at all possible!

Take your 2 liter bottle and cut off the top part that you drink out of on an angle (you can use a box cutter for this) as shown in the pictures below.

Now that you have your bottle and a sharp object, it’s time to cut the top off. Make sure you cut at an angle of about 45 degrees. If you don’t have a sharp object, you can use scissors or a knife to do this as well!

Once you’ve done that, it’s time for the fun part!

Now take the top of the bottle and flip it over and place it back into the bottom, so that it looks like it did when it was whole. The bottle can be a bit tricky to put back together at first, but if you play with it a bit should fit back together nicely. You may want to use some glue to keep the two pieces together.

Next take your string or wire and attach one end to the handle of the 2 liter bottle, and then loop it around a tree branch or something else above your head so that the wasp trap is hanging several feet in the air. You can also just place your trap on a table if you wish.

First, take your 2 liter bottle and cut off the top of it. Next, you want to cut two holes in the sides of your bottle. Cut one hole on each side that is approximately 4 inches from the bottom of the bottle. These will be used for hanging purposes later on.

Conclusion

By now you should have a basic understanding of how to make and maintain your own DIY wasp trap. These are some of the most effective traps out there, and they’re very easy to make. They can also be used over and over again, which is great if you want to use them next year or if you live in an area with a lot of wasps. All it takes is some creativity on your part!
