I can vouch for the soda bottles working.  We have tons of hummingbird 
feeders, so in the late summer we have a yellow-jacket problem.  When we 
stop somewhere when we're traveling, we don't buy sodas but buy water. 
Youngest likes Fiji water and the yellow jackets seem to really like those 
bottles best.  Guess it is the color and the flower designs on them.  I cut 
little triangle holes about a third of the way up and then add hummingbird 
sugar water.  I do drizzle a little on the outside as it seems they find the 
bottles sooner if there I do that.
