Things You'll Need

Instructions

1

Cut off the top of a two liter soda bottle. Make the cut just above the shoulder of the bottle.
2

Fill the bottom of the two liter soda bottle with water. Add 1/4 cup of vinegar to the water. Add a few drops of dish soap to the water. Vinegar will discourage honeybees and bumblebees from entering the trap. Dish soap will keep wasps from treading water.
3

Apply peanut butter to the neck of the bottle. Turn the top of the two liter bottle upside and insert it into the bottom of the bottle. This creates a funnel for the wasps to walk down into the bottle. Most will fall into the water and drown.
4

Empty the trap daily. The trap will be ineffective if too many wasps are floating on the water. The floating wasps will create a raft that they can land on, increasing their survival rate.
