I have a problem with hornets, and my question is , will these work for hornets and what do I use for bait because mine didn't come with instructions

I believe they will work with hornets, etc. For bait, I put some sugar water in the bottom and than add a couple small pieces of some sort of protein. I use either bits of bologna or hot dog. I'd think any meat would work.

It should work on hornets... I think we've got one... The big idea is those entrances are shaped like cone with cut top, wide from outside, narrow on inside... Insects have no problem get in, but it's almost impossible to get out for them... I just used some review advice and used water with sugar, juices or fruits can ferment and you will have not so nice smell. Just change it once you see it's full of corps or gets dry: the fresher bait, the cleaner, the more intense smell...

You can bait it with whatever you want, but you will attract whatever likes your bait. What comes with this trap specifically attracts yellowjackets and it works great. I trapped dozens of them and nothing else.

I wish I could affirm the other answers. I have this same model "Commercial Grade". This is the can I bought because these reviews were better than the regular. I didn't get a powerful stream at all. It is an aerosol, so if you stand close enough, it should get in. I don't trust it to do the trick. It sure doesn't kill hornets on contact.

I say do what ever you want and this is why. THEY DO NOT CATCH FLIES! I bought four of them, did exactly what the directions said to do and we never cught one single fly all summer. So paint them anything you like, Heck make them be decrotive. You may as well get some use of them.

I have used these for a couple of years for Japanese beetles and these are the only thing it has trapped. I believe the bait is designed specifically for Japanese beetles so it won't attract other bugs ...

The bait does not stay on the little pegs as shown.I have 2 of these and load them as shown and the bait gets knocked over but has never been carried out. They have worked well for me keep the bait dry and the rats eat the bait .I would reccomend them as they are effective.

I am happy to report that this trap with fly bait only catches flies. Bees and wasps stay away from the stink. This is the best fly trap you have ever used. It takes a day or so to get going, but if you have flies, expect it to fill within a week. Use a spoon to remove the dead flies, and ad some water. The bait is a gift that keeps on giving for weeks.

These didn't work for me either. The only answer I found for Fast little wool moths was bug bombing the house, closed up For several houers. I wish I had a more benign answer.

Are you hanging couple of waspinators near the nests and wait for about 3,4 weeks and let see what happen, I think bees will attack the waspinators... and for a while you won't see them anymore.Good luck to you

Mine were not sticky enough flat, I did have better luck with the traps folded into tubes. But finally went to the nuclear option with rodenticide laced bait at my camp search 1412718573. At home I prefer the cat option (I think the cat smell deters the brighter critters).

This might be because of the type of wasp. These traps work great on the wasps that raid my hummingbird feeder, but wouldn't work at all on paper wasps.

Just like a game of tennis, you have to do some swatting - when you hear their whine, make sure your racket is turned on. and practice your tennis! The mosquitos aren't attracted to the rackets. you have to go after them. Add a couple citronella candles and you'll have the tools you need. The racquets are great for flies, spiders, gnats, bees - whatever you've got. These are particularly good as they also provide a flashlight and are rechargeable - just plug them in. These are great!

the only thing I did was put the bait in high traffic areas which for the most part was the kitchen area. I have used this bait for 2 other houses of friends with the same strategy. Most of them I used in the kitchen and some in the bathrooms. The rest I used rarely in other parts of the houses.

I'm no ant expert, but I had the same thing happen to me. The ants just went around them. I left them out anyway, and after a few days, they started to go into the bait traps. A few days after that, no more ants. I don't know if there's human scent on them from handling them or what. Maybe you can try putting a tiny amount of something ants like (sugar, e.g.) in or on the traps just to get them on or into them.

I have not had a problem with bees or wasps on these feeders, and I have on other types. I HAVE found ants on and inside the feeder though, but they don't seem to bother the hummers, and since it is emptied every other day and needs refilling, I keep the feeder cleaned and any ants are not there very long.

Sure caught a lot of wasps and bees. Not sure what type. I have 3 so far and really help around hummingbird feeders.

They are too small fr a squirrel ; I had a trap outside that was dragged around in the leaves prob by a squirrel but it got away ...our intended targets ( snakes ) avoided the traps but we have since used them fr mice ...
