I saw this idea posted on Facebook yesterday....

a way to get rid of wasps, bees and flies this season.

Instructions:
~Take an empty 2-liter or 20 oz soda b...ottle and "CAREFULLY" cut it in half with a sharp utility knife, preferably just below the upper neck or 1.5" below where the top part of the label was. 

~Take the part that you cut off, the bottle neck, turn it upside down and place it in the bottom half of the bottle. Push it down as far as it will go so there are no gaps around the edges so the insects cannot escape. It should fit snugly.

~If you wish to hang it by a cord then wrap the ends of the cord or shoe string with duck tape, this strengthens the the bond between the cord and duct tape when you fasten it to the side of the bottle. Make certain to fasten the cords directly across from one another with duct tape. Make sure when you tape the cord to the sides that you tape it to the bottom half of the bottle. 

~Then mix up a sweet sugary mixture. Preferably something bright in color. I have used Orange Kool Aid and added more sugar to the mix to make it even sweeter. 

~Pour this mixture into the bottle, making certain to leave about 3/4 of an inch between the liquid and the neck of the bottle so the insects can crawl in to drink. This makes it confusing for the insects to get out. 

~Finally hang or set the Insect Trap anywhere you see wasps, bee's or flies. Just make certain you place it a little ways away from where you will be entertaining or swimming. The sweet mixture will draw the insects to the trap. Check on the trap every couple of days because it will fill up real fast. Simply take the upper part of the bottle out and empty it and repeat the above steps on refilling it. I hope this works for you as well as it has for us.
