Humane traps
We need bees, wasps and other insects to retain te world, don't just kill them.
The usual way to deal with vermin is to fight it with poison or traps, both usually fatal. Bas Kamp has designed a set of five traps which offer the user a choice: death or live removal. The most animal-friendly option is to check the traps regularly and relocate the live vermin – give them a new home outside your own. If you wish to terminate their life cycle, there are two options: the trapped vermin can be eaten by a natural enemy, or killed without the use of any poisonous substance
so that they can be absorbed by nature.
Wasps are lured by the sweet smell of syrup placed in a cartridge, which hangs freely in the opening of the glass top part. By separating the liquid from the caught wasps they will not drown compared with the traps you find on the market today. Wasps will always try to find the highest point to fly away, so if you take out the cartridge there is a big chance all wasps are able to fly out again.
All traps having a same smart way of thinking.!
