FAQs
What kind of bait should I use?
A mixture of vinegar, sugar, or honey works well. The key is to create a sweet, attractive scent.
How often should I replace the bait?
Replace the bait every 2-3 weeks, or sooner if it becomes diluted or full of insects.
Where is the best place to hang the trap?
Hang the trap in areas where wasps and other target insects are prevalent, such as near fruit trees, patios, and outdoor dining areas.
Is the trap safe for bees?
The trap is designed to be selective, aiming to minimize the attraction of bees. However, no trap is 100% bee-proof, so it is important to place the trap away from areas where bees are actively foraging.
How do I clean the trap?
Empty the trap of trapped insects and rinse it with warm, soapy water. Allow the trap to dry completely before refilling with fresh bait.
Can I use the trap indoors?
Yes, the trap can be used indoors, especially in areas where fruit flies are a problem, such as kitchens.
What are the dimensions of the trap?
The trap dimensions are: Height 12.5cm, Depth 9cm, Width 9cm
Troubleshooting
Trap is not catching insects.
Check the bait mixture; ensure it's fresh and the correct ratio. Relocate the trap to a more active area for insects.

Adjust the bait composition. Try reducing the amount of sugar or honey used.
