FAQs
What is the best bait to use?
Effective natural baits include sugar water, fruit juice, honey mixed with a little water, or a solution of vinegar and fruit. Experiment to see what works best in your area.
How often should I refill the bait?
It is recommended to check and refill the bait every 2-3 days, or whenever the trap is full of insects, to maintain its attractiveness.
Can these traps be used indoors?
These traps are designed for outdoor use. Using them indoors may attract more insects into your living space and is not recommended.
Are these traps safe for pets?
The traps use non-toxic, natural baits and do not contain any poisonous chemicals, making them generally safe for use around pets when placed out of reach.
How long do the traps last?
When properly cared for, the reusable traps can last for multiple seasons. Inspect for damage before each use.
What is the purpose of the yellow color?
The yellow color is often attractive to flying insects like wasps and hornets, helping to draw them towards the trap.
Can I use these traps year-round?
These traps are most effective during the warmer months when wasps, hornets, and fruit flies are active. They are typically stored during colder seasons.
Troubleshooting
Wasp trap is not attracting any insects.
Ensure you are using an attractive natural bait. Check that the trap is hung in a visible location along insect flight paths. Make sure the entry points are clear and the trap is properly assembled and leakproof.
Insects are escaping the trap.
Verify that the trap is correctly assembled and that all parts are securely fitted. Ensure the bait level is not too high, which could provide an escape route.
The trap is leaking bait.
Check the seal between the trap components. Ensure the bottom section is screwed or clipped on tightly and that there are no cracks in the plastic.
Too many bees are being trapped.
Relocate the trap further away from flowering plants and bee activity areas. Hang the trap at a height or position that is less accessible to bees but still visible to wasps and yellow jackets.
