Your local nursery is option. Many sell the 5 gallon and 15 gallon Sphagnum Peat Moss containers (corrugated paper flower pot) commonly used hung on a piece of plywood, I've seen where some people stuff a black plastic 5 gallon plant container in the back of the paper pot and hang it that way. easy enough but may be bit messy.

i just bought two of those and i'm pretty sure i paid less than i would pay for the same size flower pot.  difference is that i don't think, and have been warned here, that the mann lake swarm traps won't hold up to lots of rain.

i have painted the outside and exposed lid areas wit paraffin.  it was easy and cheap.  now we'll see if it was effective.

Why oh why would they make swarm traps that won't stand up to rain?

If I were to use these, I would look at the product being sold locally, sometimes they have 3 to 4 wholes on on the bottom instead of one the center,  the total cost, including shipping and tax and compare with local prices. I look at these as disposable swarm traps.
