If wasps are terrorizing your home and garden, put down the toxic chemical spray can and make a DIY wasp trap.  With a plastic bottle and three common household ingredients, you can build your own wasp trap that the pests can’t resist.  Using the right liquid mixture inside will attract wasps and not bees (which some gardeners wish to keep around).

Get the details on how to construct your own recycled, natural wasp trap here.
