Wasp Traps for Schools & Early Learning
German and common wasps peak in late summer and can be a genuine danger at Schools — a sting is painful for anyone and life-threatening for someone with an allergy. Spraying around people, food and pollinators isn't an option.
Hang bee-safe traps upwind of seating, food and gathering areas so foraging wasps are drawn away from people — not towards them.
Deploy traps early in the season, before wasp numbers peak; late deployment means playing catch-up with aggressive nests.
Keep traps away from beehives and flowering plants — bee-safe bait targets wasps and leaves pollinators alone.
