[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 1349310, member: 4362"] Boondocks, you don't have to get a female and actually any will work better than nothing but if you do use a female I think you will see the number you catch will increase fourfold. Mine does anyway. I think the reason is most of the fliers are males looking to breed. Another thing I've noticed is just what you said about new wood. I've also found freshening the drill holes at the beginning of the year helps a lot too but I'm not sure if its the smell or its the cleaning of spider webs from the holes. I had one trap that didn't catch anything and I found the holes had webs in them. I cleaned the holes out and the trap went to catching again. Here is a picture I just took of a trap I baited with a female this year. Don't know how many are in the bottle but its a good many. This is about the average I catch with a female baited trap. Male bait is less than half this.
