How to Make an Effective DIY Wasp Trap in 5 Steps

Wasps can be a threat to people and pets when they build nests close to homes. DIY wasp traps, made using household items and sweet bait, are a safe, eco-friendly solution.

When to Set DIY Wasp Traps?

Set DIY wasp traps in early spring with protein bait, early summer to prevent nests, and late summer with sweet bait when wasps are most active.

How to Make DIY Wasp Trap

Step 1 – Mark Where To Cut the Plastic Bottle

To make a DIY wasp trap, cut a clear plastic bottle one-third down from the top. Invert the top part into the bottom to form a funnel.

Step 2 –  Preparing the Wasp Trap

For a DIY wasp trap, use protein-based bait like meat in spring/summer, and sweet bait with fruit juice and dish soap in late summer/fall.

Step 3 – Set the Wasp Trap

Place your DIY wasp trap near food areas but out of reach of children and pets. Fill with bait, secure, and monitor regularly for effectiveness.

Step 4 – Hang the Trap (Alternatively)

To hang your DIY wasp trap, securely tape the bottle neck and make holes near the top. Thread string through for a strong loop.

Step 5 – Monitor Trap and Change Placement

Regularly monitor your DIY wasp trap for dead wasps; empty and refill with fresh bait when necessary to maintain effectiveness.
