Hear about how the yellow jackets started a war here, and how we are fighting back - including building these traps and direct 'interventions' on their in-ground nests. The traps are simple to build and inexpensive (in most cases made from scrap wood and a common 5 gallon bucket). Enjoy.
I know it's not considered "green" (though if you think about it...) Sneak up on a yellowjacket nest at night and pour a cup of gasoline down the hole. The end.
Very effective, but a bit of work to build. Now for something really different: for ten bucks I bought a wasp trap at the hardware store. The construction is pretty much the same as you had-the only difference was it was ready to go as soon as I got home. By days end it was full of the pesky critters. I drowned them, and put them out to compost, and went at it again the next day. And so on. My kids called it “The Hotel California “ you know-you can check in, but you can never check out. Anyway, it solved our problem.
The same concept (a screen cone and a bucket) works to catch flies as well; put bait in the bottom of a bucket, then put a screened cone in the top of the bucket pointed down.... Flies go in but can't find their way out. My neighbor used them back in the 60s.... He used dog crap as bait and the trap was always full of flies.
Very interesting but I'll stay with the simple pop bottle traps. About a 1/2 dozen set around seems to bee about the best we've found so far. We tried the Boric acid thing which was a complete failure. After studying the facts on Boric acid and wasps I found out why. Again, thanks for your hard work in producing this video.
Put the wire funnel in the lid facing down, dispensing with the wood box. Or just cut the top off a 2 litre plastic drinks bottle, and insert inside the bottle facing the opposite way. Add some fruit juice, dog food a a squirt of washing up liquid. Wasp flies in, bounces around a bit end eventually hits the water. The soap means it gets submerged and it then drowns. Takes a fraction for eh time to make and also kills them for you at the same time.
Wow, so much carpentry to kill them varmints! You are quite handy with the tools. I'm pretty much a city boy, but did a stint with the USFS back in 1983-4. No hornets but lots of mice! Anyway, nice job and a beautiful location to live in.
Simply way to destroy yellow jacket nests in the ground, I've found, is to wait until after dark when all the insects are quiet, the pour maybe a pint of gasoline down the hole...Works very well.
This trap is way too complicated. Lots of easier ones out there and more effective. I like dynamite, propane torch, dry ice, or molten lead. I want them to suffer.
Grandpa lost a work horse to hornets. He plowed a nest.poor horse got so many stings in face it suffocated when throat closed. This was in 60’s. He kept his beloved animals to work areas that tractor couldn’t go easily. That was his excuse anyway.
🐝🐝🐝🐝🐝 Yellow Jackets are Bad ! Gasoline works, then light it up. I have also used a water hose and some dawn dish soap, about 1/2 bottle and then the hose at night.
When I was a kid I was clearing weeds around the house on the hill for fire protection. I hit a mud wasp nest that was in the weeds by mistake. They tuned me up real good, I must have got hit at least 30 times all over myself. Good times!
Me too... hiking, half=way down the guy in front of me kicked a nest. Trying to protect me he threw his sleeping bag over my head. It trapped the yellow jackets under the bag and by the time I got it off, they were tangled in my long hair. I had to push them out with my hands. 23 stings. We had another 2=1/5 miles to go to reach the river. Man! That was joy getting in that cold water. It soothed the stings.
It remains amazing to me that people don't know the difference between wasps, hornets, yellow jackets, bees, etc. and there are differences...and then they always or nearly always say that the bees bite them (not that they can't) when they typically are stinging them. Biting is from the mouth while stinging is from their posterior/ovipositor. Anyway...one of the easiest ways to destroy an in-ground nest is to first locate the hole in the ground and mark the place as near as possible with a rock or marking paint or some other method (without getting stung...not bitten). Then, wait until darkness when the bees will have returned to their nest for the night. Procure a flashlight and about a pint of diesel fuel, any kind, go to the bee hole and pour the diesel directly into the hole and leave them...easy peasy. Gasolene will not work. I don't know about kerosene but this should also work as it is basically the same as diesel. Now, I know that some folks won't appreciate this method thinking that diesel is not politically correct to use, but it hurts nothing and it will kill all the bees. That little bit of diesel simply quickly biodegrades leaving absolutely no evidence of its presence/use. Now, there is another way of destroying a nest and that is to find a skunk and direct it to the hole in the ground whereupon it will promptly dig up the nest and eat every single bee! and never get stung! The only remaining scars will be an enlarged hole and some nest paper from the bees...but no bees!
Find the nest go out after dark, (bee's return to the nest after dark) with about a pint of gasoline and pour around the opening in the ground. The vapor kills the bee's.
There's a yellow jacket video here on RUclips produced by a priest. Look it up. Quick, easy and boy does it work. Not only did it attract and kill Yellow Jackets, but common flies as well. All you need is a pyrex caserole dish, canned cat food, warm water and some dish liquid and a couple of flat boards.
And put an anode from a zapper racket in the center of the exit hole so the hornets get zapped and fall back down in the bucket, dead or incapacitated.
You can cut the top off from a 2 liter or gallon jug and put the meat in the bottom and duct tape the tops upside down back on the bottom so opposite of how they started and it makes for a GR8 trap!
Get an old plastic storage container. Cut your hole in the top for your screen funnel. Put about 2 inches of soapy water in the box and some rotten meat. You'll catch hundreds a day.
Depends on what kind of ductwork you're working on, & that's not real duct tape, the stuff at the supply house (inspection approved) is an entirely different beast. HVAC guys 100% use duct tape on flex duct & I add a panduit (huge zip tie) to make sure the tape never lets go & in some areas where mastic is involved, NOTHING is coming loose, that stuff doesn't play. Where did u think the name "duct" tape came from?
Thankyou for your comment. Yes - indeed 'duct tape' was made for ducts. What I've found that what is often referred to as 'duct tape' loses its adhesion in a few years, and the experts I've listened to said one should only use metal tape on duct work - and I've found that it never loses its grip. But yes I sure like the mastic even better. Recently reworked my travel trailer and used lots of mastic for sealing all the little places ingress places to prevent any critters tiny or not so tiny from getting in.
@@RelentlessHomesteading Metal tape is only for certain applications, dryer vents & flu pipes being the most common, but have fun using it anytime u want. There's also one that looks like the metal roll but is actually thick & stretchy, almost rubbery & acts like mastic but in tape form.
@@RelentlessHomesteading Hornets are voracious meat eaters, they gorge themselves to the point of weighing themselves down... then when they take off they drop down before taking off, when they drop down, they fall on the water and drown.. put a little dish soap in the water to prevent them from lifting out of the water.. Works like a charm... I found that using this method is much more effective than any commercially made traps... And if you want to see something really cool, hang a whole fish over a bucket of water, they will pick it clean, and leave the bones like a cartoon fish.... You hang the meat under the board so the yellow jackets are eating it upside down..thats how they fall in the water.
@@craigslistrro709 Oh I like that -- Great information. Another way to get those nasty critters. Right now all the yellow jackets want here are my grapes - they won't even eat meat. Different times of year here they then go after meat. Thanks
@@RelentlessHomesteading So if they are into the sweets, then you smear Karo Syrup ,jam.. stuff like that on a board, turn the board upside down.. fill the bucket up with water to about an inch or 2 from the bait... make sure you use the soap for this one so they cant get out...and make sure you skim the dead ones out so they cant climb on them to get out....Cheap source of entertainment..lol.. But next year do the fish bait for sure, you will be amazed how clean they pick it.. they wont eat the skin tho.. just the meat..

Spend all that time and effort making the trap w building wooden enclosure, drilling many holes, and w a bucket etc then you end this video by going after Yellowjacket w wasp spray and a rock?
What is "slug sevin"? - sounds like a poison. Its also hard to find the nests in the ground - I've found a couple nests and poisoned them then covered with a rock. Later rammed a prybar and opened it up found more. But the traps allow me to get them at their destination when I can't find the source. BTW - checked out your website. I used to fly R/C models - what a beautiful 2 cylinder engine you were working with !
@@RelentlessHomesteading I see I left a word out should have read dumped a slug of sevin. Sevin can be found in the gardening section of hardware stores or Loews & Home Depot
As a former a/c man for years I can tell you, without a doubt, that duct tape is most assuredly for ducts. Metal tape (silver tape) is too. They are used in different applications but duct tape is certainly used as an industry standard.
Go get them flying little demons!! I bought a beekeeping netted hat recently - I have a great deal of work to do down our very steep back hill. When you unknowingly hit over a nest with the brush cutter they attack like crazy - and you can't run when hanging from the rope ascender. Tired of getting stung - ain't gonna happen this year!!! Although they did sting me through leather gloves too.
@@RelentlessHomesteading Wow! Vicious! I was just walking by the wasp hang out (under the eave of the little house) and they decided to come get me. Sprayed the bejebus out of their hang out after that! lol
An easy one... Screw, nail or tie a piece of chicken to a little board. Put board, chicken side down, over a bucket. Fill bucket up to 1 inch below chicken. Swish a little dish soap in the water. Walk away. Done-zo in the buns-zo.
Agreed. Thanks for responding. Yes this was more difficult than using a pepsi can. Yet this was very easy to bait - not relying on expensive 'hormone' bait packages. And For me it was an easy and fun project - and held lots of wasps.
Bring a big pot of water to a boil, put dawn dish soap in it, then pour it into the hole right about dusk. Smokes them everytime. No poison, and no stings. Have to admire the ingenuity though.😁
WAY TOO MUCH TALKING. All I'm interested in is the trap, so show us the trap, design, assembly, results. 23min vid could have been shortened to about 7 min. Which is about the standard length of of most videos people are interested in. FYI
You may as well contract this whole project out to NASA. This is like killing a fly with a sledge hammer. This guy is assuming everybody has thousands of dollars workshop. This guy must be retired and bored. The simple cat litter box with a board on top with raw chicken stapled to the board and dawn in the litter box will do it.
Well glad you had fun with that... BTW - both my Dad and Father in-law designed for the military, including for NASA. So I had a chuckle too. Do whatever works for you. I was PO'd and took my revenge on them. Happy Trails !
Well you do understand that you don't Actually Need a Workshop to build this ,right?!?! It can be built with basic hand tools that ANYONE thinking about building a trap is already in possession of 😮. He's using what he has at his disposal, I didn't hear him mention anything about needing to use these Specific tools. Chill bruh
For the cone, use a plastic funnel. The tip of the funnel might need to be shortened to make it wider, but funnels can be purchased for a buck and are rigid and easily attached with the adhesive.
RelentlessHomesteading Yellow Jackets are Hornets. They belong to the Family known as Vespid Wasps! European Hornet Bald-Faced Hornet Yellow Jacket Paper Wasp Potter Wasp & Mason Wasp All the meanest SOB’s Although, here in AZ, I haven’t been bothered too much by Potter Wasps. I’ve walked by one building a nest, she’d just go about her business. As for the rest of them, kill em as I find them. They’ll attack in a heartbeat!
The bald faced hornet is not a true hornet, but rather a species of yellow jacket. Both are varieties of wasps. The European Hornet is the only true hornet found in America.
Stupid me. I watched this video because i thought it was about "how to get rid of wasps." After watching most of it, i finally realized that you're trying to get them to live in it. Seems like an elaborate construction. Guess everyone needs a hobby, for when all you have is time.... (and money for parts, stain, construction adhesive...etc.) BTW, the reason they only go up through the "funnel" is because of the window on top. They see sky. Not sure what actual function it was supposed to serve. All in all, a waste of my time.
Thankyou Jeffro for the comment. Actually wasps and hornet can do BOTH - Bite AND STING. I was saying 'bite' but those were actually stings I was getting. They can bite - they are meat eaters. For example, Yellow jackets often bite before they sting - grabbing hold of the skin just to get a better grip before jabbing their stinger in. Their bite does not contain the poison and does not swell up as much - and hurts much more along the line of a biting fly - it seems to hurt less than a horse bite fly.
Hear about how the yellow jackets started a war here, and how we are fighting back - including building these traps and direct 'interventions' on their in-ground nests. The traps are simple to build and inexpensive (in most cases made from scrap wood and a common 5 gallon bucket). Enjoy.

would suggest to light it so does not soak into the ground.
Next time pour a pint of ammonia down the entrance hole at night. All the wasps will be dead by morning and it won't kill the grass.
I bet rubbing alcohol would work as well. Maybe with some soap.
This trap is way too complicated. Lots of easier ones out there and more effective. I like dynamite, propane torch, dry ice, or molten lead. I want them to suffer.
Dump a 5 gallon bucket of dish soap and water on the nest...the END!
I bet it works better if it is dispensed through a small whole to keep the hole wetted.

You should try building Mousetraps
Saw that other video out that the guy used Dawn dish soap at night....killed the colony
mark the ground wasp hole and take care of them at night... easy peasy and no stings
Not for use on ducts, how do you get them to hold still and not quacking and flapping
A motor with trimmer line clamped to the shaft. Suspend motor over hole. Bugs get blended as the fly up and into the spinning guillotine!
That's a great one -- a hornet vegematic !! A set-screw collar holding a line or wire at the end of long drill bit would do it. Thankyou.
Find the nest go out after dark, (bee's return to the nest after dark) with about a pint of gasoline and pour around the opening in the ground. The vapor kills the bee's.
But it would be more fun if ya lit it wouldn’t it?
Why would you kill bees? Wasps should be killed not bees.
Best if it is a low moonlight night. Yellow jackets guard the nest even at night but half as many at night.

Stupid me. I watched this video because i thought it was about "how to get rid of wasps."
After watching most of it, i finally realized that you're trying to get them to live in it.
Seems like an elaborate construction.
Guess everyone needs a hobby, for when all you have is time.... (and money for parts, stain, construction adhesive...etc.)
BTW, the reason they only go up through the "funnel" is because of the window on top. They see sky.
Not sure what actual function it was supposed to serve.
All in all, a waste of my time.
Yes its rather elaborate - but I was really anxious to handle these issues permanently.
And for me this is an extremely simple project.
Bug spray will not work!
There are many simple, effective alternatives!
Where do you live?
We're up here in Washington state - the beauty of the Pacific Northwest overlooking the Columbia river.
Jokes are not your forte
Spit it out and show
Boric acid......
Too complicated
Watch Fredrick Dunn trap it really works well.

too long
You SHOULD know this...
Wasps, bees and hornets do not BITE.
They STING.
Thankyou Jeffro for the comment.
Actually wasps and hornet can do BOTH - Bite AND STING. I was saying 'bite' but those were actually stings I was getting.
They can bite - they are meat eaters. For example, Yellow jackets often bite before they sting - grabbing hold of the skin just to get a better grip before jabbing their stinger in. Their bite does not contain the poison and does not swell up as much - and hurts much more along the line of a biting fly - it seems to hurt less than a horse bite fly.
If you have a Y.J. problem but can't locate the nest, checkout the poison bait method at: Controlling yellow jackets with fipronil - Three-Peaks
