smerchly Posted September 4, 2022 Report Share Posted September 4, 2022 Another too hot to fish day , so I decided to make an easy way to trap wasps that buzz me in the yard , more so when I water plants . I watched a few vids on U tube and quickly made this trap to try ..... It's 18 x 12" x 5" deep with 3" of soapy (Sunlight) water with some old ham & a small perch fillet tied to a board. About 4 hrs. later I counted 50 yellow jackets and about 100 flies .The bait is tied under the board & after the wasps feed they drop down & get into the soapy water . This trap is amazing . The vid. said chicken works better but I know from cleaning fish outside, the wasps appear instantly, so I set some of the guts aside about 10' from me for them to dine .....Notice the eyes on the flies are red ....
