Wasp Trap Tips & Tricks

• Locate the wasp trap away from the house or patio (to avoid attracting wasps to occupied areas).
• Placing a trap out early in the spring can help prevent an infestation of wasps later in the summer. Fertilized queens emerge early in the spring when the weather warms to start building a nest. Catching the queen prevents her from establishing a new population of wasps.
• The wasp trap may be set-up using water; however you may find catch rates improve by using a 50/50 dilution of apple juice and water.
• The contents of the trap are all natural and can be emptied into your garden compost.
