Jackie, Buy a very cheap bottle of White Wine and add about 2-3 spoons of
sugar to it. Shake it and let it sit, although I usually use it the same night
. The longer it sits the better. Cut a piece of clothesline ( I've been using
anchor rope lately ) to about a three foot length and dip both ends ( go up the
ends a good 12 inches ) in the wine bottle . Hang the rope over a limb so both
ends are dangling . On a good night, during the winter, the ropes will be
covered with moths . Best time is between dusk to around 2000 hrs and when the
temperature is in the low 40s. I usually hang between 4-6 ropes on varous limbs
or off the porch lights. I usually dip the ropes back into the wine nightly ,
but I've seen moths still come to the ropes without redipping them . Paul
