The reason for clear jars plastic is so that the flies once in the jar will

try to get out on the sides and not figure out they can go back up the

funnel. They will be attracted to the light that comes thru the clear

sides.

That was what I was thinking too.  I figued I can get the 2 ltr bottles (like

when we have a get together) and otherwise I would have water bottles which are

smaller.  Or maybe even distilled water containers.  Those are good to stick

nose down in the dirt and fill with water and it will  eventually go into the

ground by your plant or tree.  Can do the 2 ltr bottles the same way.  Can go

down the street if recyclers are out and find all the bottles you need.  if you

need to use a funnel, they have them at the dollar store.  You could keep your

funnel and pitch the jar with the dead wasps or bugs or knats, etc.

LOL, too funny. I cant imagine why the suggest glass jars for catching bugs-that

is the ONE time I am happy to use plastic or styrofoam, lol. It amazes me when I

see 15 or 20 wasps caught in one of my traps in a days time! Being plastic, I

can just throw the whole thing away and start new-I do NOT want to be fishing

dead wasps out and cleaning it, thank you very much! lol

I thought the dish detergent was to lessen the surface tension of the

vinegar so they would sink and drown.
