Make your own wasp-trap from a soda bottle – or two.
Posted in: UncategorizedThis idea to make a D-I-Y wasp-trap may not be exactly new, we’ve seen it some time before, but it might just be handy now that wasp season is all over us. The top schematic (A) shows how to make a standing wasp-trap from an ordinary PET soda bottle. Just cut, turn, glue and load up with wasp bait (anything sweet and liquid is usually fine). The other (B) is bit more complicated (and involves two PET bottles) but it results in a wasp-trap that you can hang from a branch of a tree or an awning or something like that. Why you can’t make a hanging trap by making a couple of small holes along the top edge of the first one we don’t know, but we’d try it. Maybe it has something to do with the way the wasps enter the trap, from the top or the bottom, but there is unfortunately no explanation on the site called TipNut where we found the how-to’s.brbr
