The worst part I have 6 swam traps in the yard"Bye bye, nice knowing you, best of luck to you all!"
32 feet is my limit.
They always check out the traps but never go inI took an old sock, stuffed some old comb in it and a few drops of lemon grass oil, hung it from a small tree. Waiting to see if it works. I have had 4 swarms this year already. Fortunately all 4 landed in small trees and were easy catches. Just dumb luck though.
This isn't a bait hive. It's just a smelly sock hanging from a branch. The goal is to get the swarm to land on it so it is easy to catch. It works on YouTube, so it's gotta be true, right?They always check out the traps but never go in
