      @infernuu best thing to do is make sure to empty any open containers holding stagnate water. Mosquitos lay there eggs in standing water (still) then when the sun comes out heats up the water causing the eggs to incubate and hatch then you'll get Mosquito larva (looks like tiny tad poles) they swim backwards. Just empty it out and let them fry in the dry sun they will die.

You have to pretty much sacrifice some of your lunch , place it at the end of your picnic table and let the flies get drawn unmolested by hand swatting and swishes and they'll mostly leave your plate alone.

    I have wasps. I got a lot out of the video, but more knowlege left me with more questions.
    1. Have you ever put a trap too far from the nest? I ask bc I am concerned about getting too close and distance is my friend.
    2. Will this approach eventually kill off the nest? I appears to get the wasps flying outside the nest, but do I need to rid the queen?
    3. Is this a singular approach or do you combine it with other things like chemicals or hiring a professional to dig it up? Mine is in the yard under the turf.

      Take a container of any big size, that will hold water and has no top.
      Cut a board to length to set across the container, but is only about 1/3 as wide.
      On the board bottom, figure a way to hold pieces of chicken to it. Cooked or uncooked I don't know.
      Set the board, with the chicken, on the container, chicken on the bottom, leaving plenty space on each side of the board for the wasps to fly under the board.
      Fill the container with water to within 2" from the chicken.
      Add a good amount of Dawn liquid soap to the water, then
      stir the water well.
      Done.

      @senatorjosephmccarthy2720 thank you for the instructions, but I was hoping MTM would provide the link like he said he would in the video.

    That wasn't soap, that was detergent, although probably soap would work as well.

    How do you keep animals like raccoons,dogs, cats, and etc. finding your trap and destroying it?

    The Rescue Why Trap does not work. Set one up 4 days ago and have not caught a single wasp. Maybe I should give this trap a try.

    Thanks for the video. I love the concept of a cage and the access panel. Spit balling here. I'm wondering if the sides of the cage were screened so only access is from the bottom. would improve the efficiency of the trap.?

    Kinda expensive for a couple of pieces of flimsy plastic. I do like the design of top loading instead of screwing pieces to wood and flipping it over.

    I tried your homemade version of this trap last month, and the yellow jackets flew right past the raw chicken I put out on it - as well as jam - much to my dismay. Maybe these were a particular variety of yellow jackets that don't care for meat or sugar? Very strange.
