Hornets in my bait traps

[Bill Cornelius]

Mark:
how about separate hornet traps, fishhead on a string in (but not touching the sides of) a coffee can 1/4 full of soapy water. leps hate fishheads. or even bait it with whatever you're using now.

If there are only a couple I usually don't worry too much about it, but sometimes there are so many that I am not comfortable approaching the trap (that's usually when there's something particularly good in there, naturally). Has anyone else had this experience? What is the best thing to do? I've tried relocating the traps, but that doesn't seem to make much difference. Any ideas would be appreciated.
