I tried this and not one wasp. I'm so shocked I thought for sure it would of worked. I did the water and jam and apple juice and jam and not one customer. .....??

It only caught flys only😢

Yeah i dont wanna kill bees

I would try without the soap, they likely wont get out anyway. And if they survive longer, another wasp may try to help out

I've used similar traps in the past, and got best results with boring orange juice. The soap doesn't deter them?

Please let us know how this product has held up? (It doesn't seem to be galvanized from online info, just powder painted) My area is very damp, so I'm trying to find a galvanized type, no luck so far. Also, the MFR site Pylex, has an installation video now. Thanks

OK just so you know , all adult wasps you see in spring are not carnivorous they can only drink sugar nectar etc.. There young in the nest later in the year eat meat and produce a liquid the adults feed on.. When a wasp changes from a grub into an adult wasp/hornet it's waste shrinks that's why adult wasps / hornets can no longer digest meat.. Trap the Queens in spring using apple juice syrup etc that will cut down the nests..

u are suchh a lifesaver.. im indeed trying to save as im bout to start renting a studio and this would add as an Extra points for accommodation space..god bless your soul!

You can add a little baker's yeast to make the juices ferment and smell even more. That's what all these insects love, the smell of rotting fruit to know that it's ripe, sweet and juicy.

Bro ,your showing us after you put it together lol we want to see you do it

Important to add vinegar te repel bees

good idea i will build something like that

HMM

Dont make it too sweet as honey bees will be attracked. Think- how sweet is honey?

I usually just use an electric fly swatter until the rest of the squad stings my face

wtf tye the fking bottle to branch , leave the bottle whole, the wasp crawl into bottle but cant fly out , this is joke

The only thing I saw going in your trap was honey bees.

This is perfect thank you I will be making two sets of these for my lofts in my shed to home!

Thanks dog got stung had to go to vet expensive

Do u actually know the difference between a wasp and a bee

Hey does this work for those Red Stinging Wasps?

Did you have to drill holes in the side for the slide to attach to? The side bar where ours attach does not have the holes.

Is this hard to built ?

What's the purpose of the tape?

Im trying to do this but have no idea what to even do i cant see what ur doinh

Mr bob i need ur help

My sienna 2011 passenger side tire moves and sound weird when i hit and release the brakes could be lower arms?

@2:25 I'd probably leave too if I stumbled across a Colossal Titan taking a video of a bunch of giant see-through chambers that contained the corpses of my loved ones.

And what about when they want protein, not sugar? And what about making a homemade poison they’ll take back to the nest?

My 12 yo grandson and I built the bed but we couldn't figure out stairs the way I wanted. This is mostly what I had in mind, except i have a window to work the 1st step around. My grandson is pretty tall so I'm going to make taller steps and less of them ❤

I don’t know if the newer Mella’s have been updated, but we just purchased one and the clock has 3 brightness levels for the nightlight, and the “yellow” light (referred to in the instructions as “play mode”) can be adjusted (from 30 minutes up to 3 hours) or disabled.

What kind of screws did you use to anchor to the wall like the length of the

I noticed you switched sides of the slide. Is that why you had to redo the slide frame because you put it on backwards? I guess the slide only goes on one side. I’m in the middle of doing a swing set and I have mine set up like you did in the beginning. I reckon I’m going to have to switch sides 😅

This past summer of 2023, they mostly came to raspberry jam water, strawberry jam water and Orange Crush soda.

Hello .... is it strawberry jam ?

Most of the issues described have always had a solution. I bought mine 4 years ago for my baby girl and it always had 3 brightness levels and the ability to remove the yellow light 30 mins before the wake up time. For the battery issue, I replaced the battery with a rechargeable one and it seems to be keeping the charge forever now. I think it's a genuine design flaw where the battery is indeed inline with the power instead of a backup, so the battery gets discharged fast. However, that flaw is actually a good charging mechanism for my rechargeable battery.

Motts apple juice. Done.

What time of year did you set out your traps? Here in TN, red paper wasps bombard my shed and porch in the spring but even more so in October. I've been stung and my dog was stung all in the last week! I have a garden so don't want to risk hurting any pollinators but these red paper wasps have got to go. I think they have nested inside my shed roof under the new tin and old roof.

Thankyou. I will try this NOW! I have several black wasps flying around my patio and I’m afraid to go out there to turn the water on to water my citrus trees. There are so many flying around. Thank you for testing the different solutions. Hope I don’t get stung putting up the trap ha ha. 😳

These look great. I got the lumber for this project, except, my daughter wants 'cubby's'. A standard cubby is 12", with cubby bins/baskets measuring 11". I have to adjust heights of steps to allow them to fit and, of course, add 1 X 12's to divide up individual cubby boxs. Still using your pattern, though. Thx

I made a cool trap by just leaving my pint jar of Irish cream (half gone) sitting out on the picnic table for a couple of days and caught all kinds of bugs.

I made a discovery to kill yellow jackets crawling through openings near your home/shed etc! Place glue traps near the hole! Where they land etc! I killed over 30-40 in a days time that way! Diminish the colony… then you can attack without so many swarming or harming ya! I was able to open my storage unit find the nest/hive & kill the rest! (None were flying around when I was finally able to go in unit safely)! Best eradication I’ve experienced besides wasp spray foam into a ground nest! Many methods thank goodness! Jus try not to get stung! 😮😅😂 ikr!👌💪👋🏻✌️

Why are you killing wasps?? They're great pollinators

I had some commercial traps that were similar but used two side openings. I had some hornets with a nest near my back porch and they got defensive especially at night when I'd go out on it. I tried a suggestion of orange juice (no soap) which didn't have much results at first. Then once the orange juice started fermenting, they were on those traps like a starving dog to a steak. The traps filled so fast I had to empty them repeatedly just so more could fit in them. I imagine it would work the same for yellow jackets and other types of wasps.

well mine leaks as if it doesnt seat correctly to the canister. happened right out of the box. I will check the inside for cracks

You are wrong, you would attract far more using meat like fish or raw meat.

I just tried the one with jam, water and dish soap and didn't get hardly anything! I even cut some slits in funnel to get the aroma of the jelly for them to come. They're going in but not getting caught and just flying out. Does it matter where I hang it? Right now it's just a few feet from the feeder. Should it be a little further away?

Well done !

I tried Grape jam + water, then cold ham slices + water, then Apple cider vinegar + water, Honey + water ... and not one of them works ???? Are these super genius wasps or something ???
