5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the money, August 10, 2004

This is worth the $10 this thing can catch a good 50 - 100 hornets, yellow jackets ect before you have to change the atractive sent. This is awsome especially if you don't know where the hive is. The only bad thing is if the sent gets on you it smells really bad and may take a day or so to get it off.

This review is from: Safer Brand 00280 Deluxe Yellow Jacket/Wasp Trap (Lawn & Patio)

Too bad for me - had bought 3 of these useless pieces of garbage. As other review only caught ONE insect in the three in the past month. Do not waste your money - WISH I had saved my money....

1.0 out of 5 stars My final foray into the insect killing sciences. (Attempt Number 3), May 9, 2010

My prior two failed traps: the WHYTR-BB8 W-H-Y Trap for Wasps, Hornets and Yellow Jackets and the Victor Poison-Free M370 Yellow Jacket Magnet Disposable Bag Trap both ended without success and both left me red and swollen. Once I was able to move again I took a trip to the hardware store and purchased the Safer Brand Deluxe Yellow Jacket/Wasp Trap, since it was the only product on the shelf that I had not purchased.

Strike three! This thing didn't work for me either. I followed the instructions and filled it with grape juice (apple didn't work in previous attempts) and set the bait up. I gotta say, of the three traps I used, this one has the stinkiest bait. I hung it on a tree and waited three weeks.

After three weeks I checked it and nothing, NOTHING was floating in this little plastic coffin. I was so mad that I took a baseball bat and knocked the trap right off of my tree, spraying my grill with bait. If you've read my other reviews, then I'm sure you know what follows next....

Yup, raccoon attack. I know, completely predictable right? Unfortunately for me, I like to have a midnight burger. Meat in hand, I sauntered out to the grill at 10 past midnight. I felt confident that, since it was night time, and wasps are not active at night, that I could use the grill despite not having washed the bait off. I popped the top of the grill and was confronted by a 20 pound raccoon, no wait, it must have been a 300 pound mutant raccoon... yeah, that's it.... I dropped my meat and turned to run. As I sprinted right into my reinforced sliding glass door (I bounced off of it) the raccoon reared up and launched itself at me. Before a passed out I saw its little beady eyes peering down at me.

I woke up the next morning completely naked and covered in raw meat. My wife claims that there was no raccoon, and that I was acting out some strange fantasy... but I know the truth...
