Asiatic wasp traps

The dreaded frelon asiatique which has become prevalent in recent years is best controlled by trapping the females during the period when they are preparing to build nests. The traditional traps, with fruit syrup and dark beer are quite effective in attracting them, but the period during which they should be used is coming to an end. To be effective they should be in place in early April, but after that they are more likely to attract and trap other valuable pollinators. So bring in your traps.
