How To Build A Wasp Trap

Have you ever wondered how to build a wasp trap? How about how to kill wasps? It is no fun to have a picnic, work in your garden, or enjoy some fresh air outside and have a wasp fly near you. You will get really upset because of their loud buzzing and how they just won’t go away. Okay, maybe that is just me because I absolutely hate wasps.  I know several ways on how to kill wasps. Today I’m going to show the easiest way on how to build a successful wasp trap. Did you know that wasps can be a serious threat to humans? They may seem harmless, but their sting can seriously damage the human body and even be fatal for small children. Their nests contain thousands of wasps as well which means you have to get an exterminator if there is an infestation near your house. Or do you? There is a way to deal with these pests without calling someone else and here is how…

Wasp traps capture wasps and other stinging insects using a bait that is toxic to them. They can serve as an alternative to spraying insecticides around the house. In some areas of the world, wasps are considered to be useful and important insects since they are predators of pest species like mosquitoes and flies. In other places, however, wasps pose problems as they can sting people even if they don’t want to and because their nests can be difficult to eliminate completely. A number of wasp traps have been devised which can eliminate the need for harmful chemicals while still getting rid of the problem.

You’ve probably noticed wasps in your yard. They’re usually flying around, buzzing around flowers and plants, and most likely annoying you while you’re relaxing. But did you know that wasps are beneficial to the environment? They help pollinate plants, control pests and even assist in decomposing dead animals.

How To Build A Wasp Trap

How to build a wasp trap

A wasp trap can be a great way to get rid of pesky wasps without having to use harmful chemicals or pesticides. You can make your own wasp trap in just a few minutes with supplies that you probably already have on hand.

Materials:

-Plastic container (such as an empty 2-liter soda bottle)

-Borax

-Sugar (white or brown)

Instructions:

1. Fill the container with water and place it where you frequently see wasps. The more bait you put in the trap, the better your chances are of catching a wasp. If you want to use more than one type of bait, mix them together before pouring them into the container so that they don’t get lumped together at the bottom. You should also consider using a small amount of vinegar with each type of bait to increase its effectiveness against wasps and other insects (the vinegar will help attract them).

2. Add 1 tablespoon of borax for every gallon of water used in step 1 above (this will help prevent mold growth inside your trap). You’ll also need about 10 drops of dishwashing liquid per gallon—this will help keep any mold from forming on top

If you have wasps in your home, you might be considering building a trap to get rid of them. The first thing you’ll need to do is find out where they are coming from, so you can better understand how to prevent them from coming back. Wasps tend to prefer dark areas and will often build their nests inside tree trunks or under roof shingles near windows that are never opened. They also like hanging around the exterior of houses or other buildings where there are plenty of insects for them to feed on, so if you see wasps flying around the outside of the house or landing on windowsills, it’s likely that they’re nesting somewhere nearby.

Once you’ve figured out where the nest is located, it’s time to build your trap! You’ll need:

– A plastic bottle (like a 2L soda bottle) with its cap intact

– A string or wire long enough for you to attach it securely around the neck of your bottle (at least 10cm longer than your bottle width)

– Some sugar water (1 part sugar + 4 parts water works well)

– A small funnel
