Title: wasp traps
Post by: denise1952 on September 11, 2015, 06:52:32 pm

 best wasp traps I have found that work really well ; I cut a plastic 2ltr bottle just about 2 ins from top and turn it so screw part goes into bottle i add some jam and water / a cheap coke with a banana skin/ or some sugar water with banana skin and they all work well, after a few days when banana as started fermenting they work a treat and bees don't seem to bother with it
