This 2-pack station features a dual-entry funnel design that creates a one-way physical valve for managing wasps and hornets. The chassis is built from Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) with polypropylene funnels, offering a lightweight profile that is easy to hang even on smaller fruit tree branches. A solar-powered LED light is integrated into the cap, serving as a dusk-to-dawn trigger to help attract insects during low-light hours.
The unit includes a twist-off bottom to facilitate the disposal of organic waste and cleaning. While the ABS material provides initial impact resistance, prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can lead to material changes over several seasons. Additionally, the solar cap relies on a friction fit rather than a heavy-duty gasket; for better longevity, it is helpful to check the seal after heavy rain to ensure no moisture has entered the battery compartment.
Practical usage tips for this model include:
- Replacing the included nylon cord with wire if used in very windy areas.
- Regularly cleaning the solar panel to maintain charging efficiency.
- Ensuring the bottom is fully tightened to prevent bait leakage.
If you prefer a station that does not rely on electronics or liquid baits, a visual nest decoy can be used as a territorial deterrent for certain wasp species.
