wasp trap

Stinging pest lure

A wasp trap is a device designed to lure and capture wasps, typically using bait like sugar water or meat.

Most designs allow wasps to enter through a funnel-shaped opening but prevent escape: We hung a wasp trap near the picnic table.

Commercial and homemade versions both work on this principle.
