Not really sure, possibly. Was back in there again today they are all crack willow and the leaves are very sticky. The place is literally buzzing. thousands of bees all over the leaves ! Only wasps i saw were paper wasps hunting insects !

Ok so ...the wasps love the stuff ( vespexs) but are distracted but other fishy smells , like frames etc ...they prefer it to burley though and we're harvesting it over phillie and Mack ..harvesting it rolling up we balls and hauling it away ..VC was a clever barstard and rubbed our set up with a fish skin and set the game alive ...the only problem was the bait trays are very light and wind blows them out of the trap do we tapped ours down.. into the trap ...will report back hopefully next weekend no wasps see how it goes

The few we seen around base camp today certainly seemed a bit dozy on it.

I put the vespex out on sunday am and the wasp numbers are already down by a huge margin.
Now to find a product that does the same for Sandflies

If they are taking it then you do notice a big difference in a matter of days.

Have just been around the South Island on bike.
Ended up with dead wasps in chin air inlet.
Had dead one get into helmet got enough dried venom to get a bit of swelling etc.
Ended up in ear pocket.
Noticed bugger all flies compared to CNI are the wasps dealing to them?.
