Abstract

See full text

This invention relates to novel methods and compositions, wherein chopped dried apple or apple pomace can be used as supplementary lures for trapping wasps in the family Vespidae in combination with volatile chemical attractants, including (but not limited to) heptyl butyrate, acetic acid and isobutanol. Said vespid wasps may be in the genera Vespa, Vespula, Dolichovespula or Polistes. When formulated in a porous bag immersed in a water-detergent capture medium at the bottom of the interior chamber of an Oak Stump trap, either chopped dried apple or apple pomace can increase the capture of said vespid wasps several fold.
