Fatal Funnel makes it easy to create powerful DIY insect traps using materials you already have at home.


Fatal Funnel Fly & Wasp Traps FAQ

A solution this simple and cost-effective might sound too good to be true—but Fatal Funnel traps are proven to work.

Here are answers to some of the most common questions we get:


How does the Fatal Funnel work?

Fatal Funnel uses a simple, highly effective design.

Start by filling a standard 2-liter plastic bottle with an attractant mixture (typically a blend of sugar, water, fruit juice, or similar ingredients). Then, cut a small opening above the liquid line and insert the funnel into the bottle.

Place the trap in areas where you’ve noticed insect activity.

The scent of the attractant draws flies, wasps, and hornets inside. Once they enter through the funnel, they’re unable to escape and eventually drown in the liquid.


What do I need to use the funnel trap?

Once you have your Fatal Funnel, setup is quick and easy. You’ll just need:

  • A 2-liter plastic bottle with a cap
  • A knife to cut the opening
  • Ingredients for an attractant mixture (varies by recipe)
  • Optional: wire or twine if you’d like to hang your trap

Can I use any plastic bottle?

For best results, we recommend using a standard 2-liter bottle or larger. This provides enough space for insects to collect and improves overall effectiveness.


Is the Fatal Funnel safe for children and pets?

Yes. Fatal Funnel traps are completely free of pesticides, chemicals, and toxic substances.

That means you can confidently use them around your home, yard, երեխան and pets without worrying about harmful exposure.


Is the Fatal Funnel eco-friendly?

Absolutely.

Fatal Funnel traps are environmentally friendly because they don’t rely on harmful chemicals or poisons. Plus, they’re designed to be reused—simply recycle or reuse your plastic bottles and keep the trap working.
