Several years ago I had a serious yellow jacket problem and solved it was
a trap of my own design.

I used a 16D box nail to make many holes in the top of a gallon can.  I
then placed some scrap honey inside and smeared some on the outside of
the top.
I trapped hunreds in a very short time.

Note:  I made the holes from the outside of the can and believe this must
be done to be sucdessful.

Happy trapping.

Jim
