The staff all have their favorite bugs to talk about to groups, and I can get real nerdy about honey bees and moths. I am so excited to share with you an old 1800s recipe to attract moths within the hour you apply it to your door or other locations outside. The stuff looks like throw up, but it works like a champ!
MOTH BAIT
Can you see the moths in the sugary mess?
All you need is a really ripe banana (nearly brown), half a dark beer, and a heaping cup of dark brown sugar. Mix it all together with your hand the best you can. Bring the pasty goop outside and smear the stuff near a light. If you live near the woods, you won't have to wait long. I started seeing moths just 5 minutes after applying. If you live in a neighborhood, it might take some time. Watch a movie and check back. Bring a camera!
These Rosey maples are loving it!
