Which statement is true about wasp traps?

• A. They have a teabag like activator, they are water activated, they are only hung
• B. They are scented with vanilla
• C. They are designed to be buried in the ground
• D. They work without attractants

Answer: (A)

Wasp traps work by releasing a lure when the activator is wetted, using a teabag–like packet inside the trap that is water-activated to start drawing wasps in. The design is meant to be hung, not buried, because placing the trap at a height helps wasps find the attractant more easily and makes it easier to monitor and service. This combination—the teabag–style activator, water activation, and a hanging setup—explains why that statement is true. Vanilla scent and burying the trap aren’t standard features for effective wasp traps, and traps don’t work well without an attractant.
