Esschert Design Wasp Trap

The trap uses a bottom-entry design. Insects are lured inside through an opening at the base, and because of the vessel's shape, they are unable to navigate back out once they have entered.

Yes, it is a non-electric, non-toxic trap that relies on physical design rather than chemicals or electricity. However, because it attracts stinging insects, it is best to hang it in an area that is not high-traffic for pets or children.

You can use common household attractants like sugar water, fruit juice, or a mixture of water and a little honey. Avoid using protein-based baits if you want to specifically target wasps rather than other beneficial insects.

The glass vessel can be removed from the cast iron holder for easy cleaning. Simply rinse it out with warm, soapy water, let it dry, and refill it with fresh bait.

The base features an antique rust finish, which is designed to withstand outdoor conditions. While it is weather-resistant, the finish is intended to have a vintage, weathered look that develops character over time.
