This is not an exaggeration. Russell IPM Wasp Trap and Lure has been serving the professional pest control Industry for well over twenty years. The design was developed around the insect behaviour and the lure is a scientifically researched blend. Wasps have two types of feeding cycles. In the spring, overwintering wasps search for protein based food to help them build their frail body and produce healthy eggs full of nutrients. However, in late summer, wasps turn to fruit with high Sugar content as main source of food and particular those in the early stages of fermentation. Since the great British weather is only allows us to enjoy our gardens in the late summer, Wasps tender to bother us during their second feeding cycle. It is for that reason Russell IPM Wasp Lure has been specifically formulated to take in account the wasps feeding behaviour and since it has been the Pest Control Industry's Choice for selective Wasp trapping. The question is, if the Pest controllers have all the skills and tools to destroy wasp nests, why would they need Russell IPM Wasp trap? The answer is very simple. Wasps travel long distances away from their nest looking for food. In other words the wasps which are bothering you where you are sitting in the Beer garden or your patio could have come long way away from their actual nest. The nest could be in another property outside your control, and therefore it is not so easy to do something about it. However, Russell IPM Wasp Trap can intercept the invading wasps before them dear to bother you. It is not surprising that it is very likely that you might spot a Russell IPM wasp trap in many Beer gardens around the country. Placing Wasp traps on the garden parameters will act as magnet to pull the wasps to the traps before they get to the house. If you are lucky enough to have south facing patio and you leave your kitchen window or door open in the summer, that chances are wasp could get into your house attracted by the smell of the sweet fruit in the kitchen (Particularly during the days of jam making !) Hanging the trap outside the window will intercept the wasps before they get into the house. Servicing the traps is very important. The water level inside should be always high to drown the wasps (the only way to kill them). The only thing you should not do is to try to open the trap while the wasps are desperate to get out as they may well be very aggressive. Evening is the best time to service the traps. Throw the content into a trash bag and wash the trap well before recharging with fresh Lure. Always be alert during the trap serving. Wearing garden gloves might not be a bad idea. The Lure normally remains active for about 7-10 days depending on the weather and the number of wasp getting into the trap. After that period the decomposing wasps will start to attract flies which will turn the trap into a fly trap! However, if you want to get rid of wasp only... then change the Lure as soon as the trap gets full of wasps. In the summer of 1995, the Wasp trap and Lure was first offered to the public under the brand of "Green Science Control" Wasp trap. The trap is re-usable and if washed and stored away will serve at least for five years. All what you have to do is to buy the lure again. http://pestcontrol.shop-russellipm.com/en/products/wasppro-wasp-trap-5-pack
