“…Acetone did not repel wasps at Mt Thomas, and Chang (1988) and Spurr (1991b) successfully used acetone to dissolve hydramethylnon into baits. Baits containing blue food colouring (Wagner & Reierson 1969;Perrott 1975), Acid Brilliant Green (Spurr 1991a), Rhodomine B, which is red, and hydramethylnon, which is yellow (Spurr 1991b), have all been eaten by wasps.…”

“…Poisoned protein bait prepared for wasp control has commonly been stored frozen (Grant et al 1968;Wagner & Reierson 1969;Reid & MacDonald 1986;Spurr 1991aSpurr , b, 1993. However, frozen bait is difficult to store and transport.…”

“…The attractiveness of baits and lures to wasps (and non-target species) was measured by counting the number caught in baited or lured traps after 1-4 days (e.g., Thomas 1960;Wagner & Reierson 1969;Ross et al 1984) and/or the instantaneous number visiting baits in bait stations after 1-3 h (e.g., Perrott 19751 in February-March at the peak of wasp numbers Traps were made from 1.25 litre plastic soft-drink bottU's using a design modified from Rogers & Lan:;-t fl968). and bait stations were made from 40; < m\ cans or plastic jars turned on their side.…”

“…Numerous meat and fish products (mainly cooked horsemeat, boiled ham, and various brands of canned meat and fish-based pet-food) have been used as bait for control of V. vulgaris, V. germanica, and related species of wasps in the United States (Grant et al 1968;Wagner & Reierson 1969;Ennik 1973;Ross et al 1984;Reid & MacDonald 1986;Chang 1988). Raw minced beef, raw minced hare, canned barracouta, and canned sardine cat-food have been used as baits for wasp control in New Zealand (Perrott 1975;Bozi in Donovan 1985;Eves pers.…”

Protein bait preferences of wasps (Vespula vulgaris and V. germanica) were determined by measuring the number of wasps attracted to different bait types, the amount of each bait type collected by wasps, and the proportion of wasps collecting bait. Fresh fish and meat baits attracted the largest number of wasps, but canned sardine cat-food was collected in the greatest amounts. Factors influencing attraction of wasps to sardine cat-food included wasp density, season, and weather. The number of wasps attracted to sardine cat-food increased rapidly in January but lagged behind the number of wasps flying in and out of nests, peaked later, and declined earlier. The proportion of wasps that returned to nests carrying sardine cat-food peaked in February-March, when it was higher than the proportion collecting natural protein food. Sardine cat-food is currently the best bait to use for wasp control because of its attractiveness, palatability, and acceptability to wasps. Future research should investigate other methods besides freezing for prolonging the shelf-life of sardine cat-food baits, and the use of solvent extracts of sardine cat-food to prolong the field-life of baits.

“…Combinations of pesticides and meats have been used to control the western yellowjacket, Vespula pensylvanica (Saussure) (Grant et al 1968); the common yellowjacket, Vespula vulgaris (L.) (Wagner and Reierson 1969); and the German yellowjacket Vespula germanica (F.) (Perrott 1975, Spurr et al 1996. Yellowjackets also are attracted to sweet materials.…”
