Making Traps For Things That Sting | The Boonies

High above the Grid in Washington, DOC and Jeie Leverett are building an elevated bathroom to avoid contact with bears in the area. Got it? Got her?

But in the remote wilderness of Onion Creek, it's not just bears that the Leveretts have to contend with. A day doesn't go by that I'm not stung at least twice. You can see I got a bad little hornet problem here and wasps. When you get stung by one of these, it's like getting injected with fire. Even if you don't have allergies, you get stung enough and it can be life-threatening.

They're flying everywhere. We have had an infestation, so I got a way of taking care of them. Take a water bottle, cut it off, you run the funnel, turn it back over, get some tape. It doesn't matter what kind of tape—something that'll stay stuck in if it gets wet—but just run a ring of tape around here.

You're going to seal this up here and just fold her over this. This just prevents any escapes. What I like to do is I save my morning coffee, get a little bit of leftovers, put a little extra dose of sugar in it. This right here is a half a cup of coffee with 2 or 3 teaspoons of sugar. You can see they're already trying to get in there.

Then I fill my trap and just a little bit in the bottom there. You see here it makes the hole kind of like it's their hornet's nest, and they're attracted to the sugar and the coffee in here. But when they get in here, the hole is suspended, and they're too dumb to know to fly right back up the hole. They try to come up the edges, and pretty soon they expire.

Just get it someplace out of the way and leave this out for about an hour or so. A little bit of trash turned into a convenient way to get rid of these little suckers.
