"how To Make Your Own Wasp Trap With Common Materials".

Wasps can be a huge problem. Because most wasps are social creatures, this means that they live together in large colonies. Unless you make your own wasp trap, you can put your family in the following situation. While one wasp sting may be painful, multiple wasp stings can be deadly.

Because of this you need to know how to make your own wasp trap. You can actually learn below how to make your own wasp trap using common materials that you probably already have on hand.

1. Using a two liter bottle, cut the top portion of the bottle off. Remove the cap. Turn the top portion upside down, and place it into the top part of the bottom portion of the two liter bottle.

2. On the outer edge where the two pieces meet, use tape or a stapler to secure the two pieces together.

3. Fill the bottom portion of the bottle with water. This water should not reach the top portion of the bottle, as the wasps will need room to move around inside.

4. Add vinegar, dish soap, or laundry detergent to the water. This is what will kill the wasps. Learning how to make your own wasp trap is one thing – finding the right bait for the wasps is something else. In most cases, one of these three ingredients will do the trick. Use just one teaspoon of the vinegar or soap that you select.

5. Punch a couple of holes into the top portion of the bottle, going through both pieces of the bottle, and attach a small rope or string. The rope or string must be strong enough to support the weight of the bottle with the water in it. Using the rope or string, hang it near the wasp nest. You have learned how to make your own wasp trap, and your trap is now ready to catch wasps.
