This trap has lured in scores of yellow jackets in my yard. The trap is easy to use and reuseable year after year, with refills. As it says on the directions, placement is extremely important! Move the trap to sunny spots for more victims. It does not attract bees (good) but it doesn't attract hornets (bad). I have found the Sterling product much more effective than the large jar-like one with tubing at 90 degree angles.

I've made all manner of yellowjacket traps, with some success. On a whim, I bought somed Rescue Disposable Yellowjacket Traps (the bag type) and the amount of insects it caught was awesome. What I've settled on is this attactant, placed in a bottle with a hole in it.

The attractant works extremely well (heed their warning about placing the trap 20 feet away from area people are in, as well as the warning not to get any of this on you while setting a trap). I am just amazed at how many yellowjackets this will bring to the traps.

The way I use it is with empty milk or juice bottles. Cut a hole on the upper bottle (I just cut a plus sign about 1 inch wide and fold the flaps into the bottle) and put the attractant inside. Add water to about 2 inches below the hole. Set out on the ground and it's done. With several of these set out over a few weeks, I've completely killed off nests. It's amazing stuff.

Not as convenient or last as long as the cartridge refills. But are more avallable at Lowe's. Have to go on-line for the cartridges.

found this yellow jacket attractant on amazon at a most reasonable price ! i am allergic to yellow jackets and we have plenty - and thankfully product worked well and all are in trap. packed well and received quickly - will be buying again from this vendor in the spring.

I put this out by my hummingbird feeder hoping to redirect their activity but actually only caught one yellow jacket.

Receive the package in a very timely manner, as ordered. Would definitely order from this vendor again. Only suggestion is much smaller packaging. Was a big box for very small items, could have been cut down by 75%.

I've had it up for three weeks and have caught over 1000 yellowjackets...didn't know there were so many in the neighborhood...and they keep on coming! Almost always 2 or 3 buzzing inside with a bunch more flying around the outside waiting their "turn." Definitely a great product. Easy to use, just make sure you put it in an out of the way location because it really attracts them.
