Grrr, we get them real bad around our house.....I'd be interested in knowing how to make a home-made trap......I have an built in gas grill outside that is older and they like to go inside of it...so if there is something I could put on the grill, or in the grill I'd be interested......

I have seen on-line if you get a bottle of reg soda and out a styro cup on top the boogers go in and they can't get out.. You can also buy simalar thigs at wal-mart ect...

They're also eating your caterpillars and some spiders as well as insect pests in the garden. Do they sting? Are they the mud nest builders? Those nests dissolve easily in water and make a great plant tonic for sandy soil areas.

yes they sting i have been stung a couple of times

During the spring and fall they tend to stick around homes because the heat radiates out from the structure. The best thing that you can do is put out some bait stations for them, and keep them as far from your home as possible

we have some reusable traps that they fly in and then get stuck in the liquid and drown. i think we got them at walmart or maybe home depot a few years ago. when i put them out i boil some sugar, corn syrup and water till everything dissolves and then put it in the bottles, then just put them out. i put 2 out yesterday and laready have 1 drowned little bugger! it's either that or i wait for them to land in the grass and step on them. i get some sick enjoyment out of killing them! LOL

What is that product? It is hard to tell from the link provided. It appears to be a fake white faced hornets nest, but can't tell for sure. Did it work for you?

its a canvas hornets nets. My husband got it for me and hung it up and I fell for it. lol and so do the wasps. You hang it up when you want to sit outside for the day. You don't leave it up, you just put it when are you are because eventually the wasps figure it out.

"Works without killing wasps, which play an important role in killing other pests"
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Perfect. An answer to an insect problem that doesn't attempt to solve the problem with poisons, or by killing the otherwise beneficial insect, thereby creating further problems. Good luck with your waspinator. Kudos to you WG.

I have heard an old wives tale that if you put out plates of cuecumbers and onions sliced up the wasp will stay clear........not sure if it works or not though. Anyone else know anything about this technique?

Thank you Longy!
I really appreciate your support. I agree and since we started this project almost 3 years ago, one of the most popular reasons that people buy this is that its non toxic. I think consumers are more and more aware of the all the chemicals we run into not just in gardening but the food we eat etc.. All around a much better idea..
I am glad I found ths site it's great I am a garderner as well, I belong to another site which I also love..
