Wasp Traps
Wasp traps are devices designed to attract and capture wasps, reducing their population and minimizing the risk of stings. They typically use a bait or pheromone to lure wasps into a sticky trap.
How Wasp Traps Work:
- Attraction: The trap uses a bait or pheromone to attract wasps.
- Entry: Wasps enter the trap through a small opening.
- Capture: Once inside, the wasps become stuck to a sticky surface.
Types of Wasp Traps:
- Hanging Traps: These traps are hung from trees or structures and are often used to catch wasps in gardens or outdoor areas.
- Indoor Traps: These traps are designed for indoor use and can be placed near windows or other areas where wasps may enter.
Additional Tips for Wasp Control:
- Eliminate Food Sources: Keep food and drinks covered, especially outdoors.
- Seal Entry Points: Seal any cracks or gaps in your home where wasps may enter.
- Avoid Wearing Strong Perfumes: Strong scents can attract wasps.
- Call a Professional: For serious infestations or if you’re uncomfortable handling wasps, consider hiring a professional pest control service.
Remember: Always handle wasp traps with caution and follow the manufacturer’s instructions. If you are allergic to wasp stings, it’s best to consult a professional pest control service.
