Day 3 of W-H-Y Jelly Trap

I've given up hope on Jelly, but have found new hope in YEAST!! Such a  wonderful bait! Yesterday, I caught 12 yellow jackets! Of course, you have to add water to yeast in order for it to attract anything, and then of course the insects drown! So far so good, I'm going to see how long I can keep the same yeast, or rather how many days can it be reused and still be affective?


Naturally, this means I am not using the bottom chamber of the W-H-Y trap, but the top chamber, it's the only chamber capable of holding liquids.

I think yeast is still less expensive than a W-H-Y trap refill packet! We shall see!

*Of course naturally now the flies are beginning to be attracted to the trap. I've given up hope on homemade fly traps and bought some fly bait. We'll see how affective that is.
