Hornets in my bait traps

[robert beiriger]

I was told by a great baiter, "If you are getting a lot of hornets in your
bait traps, then you are using too much sugar in the mix".  Try added less
sugar to the bait and see if that helps.

> I've had a few bait traps out here in northern Maryland all summer and
have had a persistent problem with white-faced hornets feeding on the bait.
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.
