Do Wasp traps actually work?

Using wasp pots or wasp traps can be an effective way to control problem wasps in the summer time.

Whether you’re trying to enjoy spending some relaxing time in the garden with food or drink in hand or perhaps in a pub garden enjoying the local beer options. It’s never long until the relentless pesky wasp turns up to ruin your fun.

Installing wasp traps isn’t as easy as placing some coca-cola or fruit juice in a pot or jar and miraculously trapping every wasp in a 2 mile radius!

There is some science to working with wasp traps. Things like wind direction, colour of the trap, how much sunlight is on them and what type of bait/lure is used all play a part of how effective wasp traps can be.

If you don’t get these factors right, they can end up rendering the traps useless and the wasps will continue to visit the source that’s attracted them and ignore the traps.

Now we can’t go revealing all our trade secrets for you on catching wasps! So feel free to get in touch and book a visit or a treatment and we can get started on helping alleviate those irritating wasps around your home or business.
