In Kansas we'd have them all summer and into fall.<br />I always did the vinegar in a glass trick, too. But I would put plastic wrap over the top and a rubber band around the rim to secure it. Then poke fork sized holes over the top. Those suckers can get in but that can't get out!<br />Same concept as yours.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17194870993492545810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1151230224028574772.post-81685704197644946772010-10-22T10:36:23.000-07:002010-10-22T10:36:23.000-07:00I just had a swarm of them too.
