Why do they approach it? What form of bait does it use?

Most of those one way traps (where flys can enter but can’t leave) rely on the dead flies trapped inside giving off a smell (which smells fucking disgusting 🤢). The problem with those traps is I found it attracted more flies than I originally had so I stopped using them.

Yep. Set up some baited wasp traps, and while I captured a lot of wasps, I attracted even more. The outdoor birthday was pretty much ruined and we had to go inside.

Hopefully, they came dressed for the occasion. Like, wearing a jacket or something.

But they make an excellent table center piece.

Who sets up a baited trap at a place where they don't want the wasps?

Set up the traps mid-February.
