And the paper wasps are back under my 5th wheel hangover. Last year I just waited for them to leave when it got cool. Unfortunately, then I forgot to seal off the hole that they were going in to. This year they thought it was such a fine residence that they are building a guest home a few feet away (on the left side of the picture). I have flying insect spray but I am too chicken to spray them. There are too many. A friend of mine put a picture on facebook of her new fly catcher that she bought from Walmart for $5. Walmart is a 40 minute drive, one way, so I wasn't eager to jump in my car. I had seen how to make a trap out of a soda bottle before so I searched for it again.

I cut off the top, turned it upside down and taped in on. Here I made 3 of the traps and put soda and a piece of hot dog inside. I don't know if it is stinky enough to attract them. Perhaps I should put some dog poo in the one for the flies.


The website also suggested cat food or tuna because it is smellier. I hope it works. The flies are annoying but the wasps are down-right scary.
