This wasp trap is an effective way of catching large quantities of wasps and hornets in both domestic and commercial premises, gardens and patio areas. The trap and attractant when used together will lure in the wasps and hornets, where they become trapped, eventually drowning in the water/attractant mix contained within the trap. Our attractant is species-specific ensuring that it will not attract bees, birds or other wildlife, chemical free and safe to use around children and pets. Made from recyclable plastic, the wasp traps can be emptied, cleaned and reused, just replace the attractant and you have a brand-new trap, also easily stored out of season. We recommend diluting the attractant on a 50/50 basis, if your are experiencing an active infestation then use a less diluted formula to maximise breaking the communication cycle preventing the infestation worsening. Best used from May onwards, finishing in the early autumn to ensure maximum trapping rates for the aggressive wasps. For a standard garden, 1-3 traps set up would be adequate coverage, larger gardens may need more traps to reduce the population of Wasps and Hornets. To clean your trap simply empty contents into a bin and thoroughly rinse in clean water. Store the attractant in a cool dry place, out of direct sunlight. How to use the Wasp Trap Hang or place the trap at least 5 metres away from seating, doors, or eating areas. Position traps near trees, bins, sheds, or garden edges where wasp activity is common. Use multiple traps for large gardens or areas with persistent infestations. Attractant available separately or as part of your initial kit.
