pest control

I used 2 traps earlier this summer with great success, i purchased from my local hardware store for $4 each... they were the type where you cut some plastic flap off of the top and pull the mounting hardware bit out, then you put water in it, which dissolves a pouch of wasp bait...

they were like this

they are supposed to be good for 6-8 weeks, probably more like 3-4, but they killed many many hundreds of wasps and had a very wasp free mid-summer, which is usually the worst part.

will be doing the same thing next year... I have tried re-usable traps in the past with little success and less desire to clean an re-use them.
