RESCUE! WHY Trap for Wasps, Hornets, & Yellowjackets – Hanging Outdoor Trap - 3 Traps

This product worked very well for our home and yard. After seeing quite a few yellow jackets and wasps this summer, but not seeing any nests or other sources, these traps made sense to catch whatever was flying around.We used three around the yard to provide overlapping coverage. The traps were easy to fill with attractant and hang outside. Definitely take care when loading the attractants into the traps to not get any on you or your clothes - you don't want to become a target! Wash hands and skin thoroughly before taking the traps outside.Once set up, the first yellow jacket was caught inside within 5 minutes, and the trap kept attracting them for 2+ weeks. With the trap design, winged insects can't get out given their general movement/flying behavior. It was interesting to watch, from a distance with binoculars, how the insects would circle the trap for a bit, then head right into it.After the attractant wore off and it seemed like no new insects were being caught, emptying the trap (outside) was easy. Do make sure that there's nothing alive inside before opening it for cleaning, that's not a pleasant surprise when something flies out. I wore gardening glove to avoid any possible contact with stingers. Shake everything out, maybe use the garden hose to give it a quick rinse, then reload it with fresh attractant.I also pre-ordered replacement packs to make sure there were always some on hand. The trap worked great all summer long, and caught hundreds of yellow jackets, and some wasps. Hopefully, I can start using it in early spring and maybe that will help reduce overall numbers during the summer, too.

Does not work!I have had 2 of these traps hung for a week now, and not 1 wasp in the trap, but they are all over my Oriole feeder with grape jelly.

I placed one of these on a shepherd's hook in place of a hummingbird feeder that was being swarmed with yellowjackets. Figured it was a sure thing. After two days not one single insect has entered the trap. Bought three of these. Ugh..UPDATE- After a few days. something changed today and wasps and yellowjackets are now entering the trap. Maybe the attractant is too strong at first? Or perhaps too hot before? Happy to finally see some results.

This year has been especially bad for yellow jackets that drive us and our hummingbirds crazy. I was skeptical of these traps given the number of low ratings but decided to try them anyway. Very glad I did because the moment I hung them out they stated working attracting the pests. I put out all three traps, one on our dock, one on our deck, and one in the yard. There were dozens of those buggers in all 3 traps the very next morning.I did find that the top portion of the trap was far more effective than the lower portion. I believe the attractant used for the bottom trap is not nearly as effective as the attractant designed for the top. I plan on using some soda or sugar water in the the lower trap to increase the effectiveness.

The bottom portion for yellow jackets works fine. The top portion for wasps , the wasps want NOTHING to do with this. I hd multiple up and one right NEXT to a nest. Nothing. HERES THE FIX. If your wasps aren’t interested in the trap , empty the solution and get RAW hamburger. I only put in 3-4 punches and filled with water again. BAM. IN a few hours I had 3 and 6 yellow jackets in the top. I’d clean it often as I’d imagine when it rots flies will be attracted too. So value for money I don’t know but it’s reusable and the hamburger truck seems to work for both.

This product doesn’t work

At first this kind of worked. I noticed that I’d catch a yellow jacket queen only to see it eventually gone. They escaped easily.So then I applied double sided tape on the mesh part. Lo and behold, no more escaping. I’ve only had this out for a couple of days and I’ve already caught a couple. It’s early in the season so I want to get ahead of a nest infestation.I also recommend setting it up early in the morning. I’ve made the mistake of doing so on a warm afternoon and was dive bombed by yellowjackets. I suppose this also proves that the attractants do indeed work.

I bought these for paper wasps and yellow jackets. After hanging them right next to nests, for months, they caught absolutely nothing. The yellow jackets have recently taken a liking to my cat's wet food. I hung the last trap 1 foot directly above the food bowl and still nothing. I replaced it with one of the empty traps adding a glob of catfood in the attractant dish. I immediately caught ALL THE yellow jackets. My advice is to trash the scary, dangerous, difficult multi-step chemical packets and just toss some meat in there. BOOM goes the dynamite🧨🐝🐝🐝
