About this item

  • Targets Yellowjackets – Lured in by our specially formulated attractant, yellowjackets fly in through the holes in the bottom of the trap and become trapped. Once inside, they die from dehydration.
  • Attracts Multiple Species – This trap lures roughly a dozen species of stinging yellow jackets found in North America. (Please note: this trap only targets yellowjackets; it will not catch wasps or hornets).
  • Reusable – Durable plastic construction is built to withstand many seasons of use. The included attractant lasts for weeks without daily maintenance. Additional attractant refills are available (sold separately).
  • Won’t Attract Honeybees – Our Reusable Yellowjacket Trap is specially designed to attract and kill yellowjackets, not beneficial honeybees.
  • Made in the USA – At RESCUE!, our goal is to design and manufacture the safest and most effective pest control solutions available. We proudly manufacture our products in the USA!

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews

91 customers mention71 positive20 negative

Customers find the pest control device easy to set up and use. They say the long-term bait makes maintenance a lot easier, as they don't have to clean and re-bait.

587 customers mention343 positive244 negative

Customers are mixed about the performance of the product. Some mention that it's worked fantastic, is very effective, and has outstanding results. However, others say that it was not effective, didn't trap anything, and was mostly useless.

Customers are mixed about the scent of the pest control device. Some mention that the scent is stronger, and works well.

"...Watch out for the liquid, it's supposed to be non-toxic but it smells like death so you don't want to get it on your skin or clothes...." Read more

So easy to lure them with the promise of free food!
Evil buggers would take over our deck every time we BBQ'd. I searched, and could not locate a nest anywhere. Time for these things to go.I had used the Rescue fly traps with much success, so I decided to purchase their yellowjacket trap. It was inexpensive and the reviews were promising, so I figured I didn't have much to lose...except for a few yellowjackets. I was hopeful.If you've ever purchased the Rescue FLY Traps, or their fly attractant in the past, then you know that adding attractant should definitely be done outside. Knowing what their FLY bait smells like (rotting flesh), and NOT knowing what yellowjacket attractant would smell like, I thought it would be a good idea to put the trap together outside, and decided to set it up, of course, by said BBQ, so I could watch my new trap catch these creatures from hell. It was quick and easy to put together, and even got the attention of a few yellowjackets who appeared out of nowhere to investigate.But while they flew around the trap, they didn't, wouldn't, or couldn't figure out how to enter. So back into the house I went to grab a piece of old lunch meat I had been planning to throw out, and brought it back outside with me. DO NOT DO THIS. Don't make this mistake at home, because the instant I approached the trap with a single slice of processed turkey breast, I was swarmed. Three yellowjackest suddenly turned into thirty. I opened the trap back up, and threw the lunchmeat into the trap, shaking my head and hands the entire time so they wouldn't land on me. Got bit once, thankfully I am not allergic. I quickly screwed the bottom of the trap in place, and tied it back up to the deck railing, and then stepped back to watch.Okay, the the sheer numbers of yellowjackets that showed up were not the paltry group that had invaded our BBQ's Those original buggers quickly told all their friends, and the word spread out in yellowjacket land that there was a slice of processed turkey breast to be had, and they all wanted it. They buzzed around the trap, trying to figure out how to get in. FREE FOOD! They fought with each other to get in through the small holes in the bottom of the trap. Once in, a few of them tried to block the entrance for other comers. Some tried coming in two abreast. And once in, they grabbed a piece of the prized processed meat and flew upwards through the cone, and on to what they believed would be freedom.SIKE!! No freedom for you!! They hit the top of the trap and buzzed around. As they tried to escape, they continued to greedily hold firmly on to their tiny pieces of meat, refusing to let go. And more continued to come, and more, and more. The new arrivals didn't seem to notice their compadres trapped inside. If they did notice, they didn't care. They selfishly were only concerned about getting their piece of the pie...or of the meat as it were.As time passed, the first arrivals finally accepted their fate, dropped their little piece of meat, and clung to the walls of the trap, eventually falling to the bottom where a good amount of no longer wanted meat was now collecting. And still more came.By nightfall, most activity stopped. In the morning, those that had entered the night before were dead, but a host of new arrivals were coming. By the end of the second day, the trap was half full...and still they are coming.This evening I ordered another trap so I can take the first down to empty it without depriving any of the still free yellowjackets of their opportunity of free meat. That just wouldn't be fair, now would it?In all seriousness, this trap works, and works WELL, for what we always called, "Meat Bees", those pesky creatures that invade picnics and BBQ's, any time there is any sort of meat around. They are aggressive and nasty, and they can sting multiple times. It is impossible to enjoy being outdoors with a plate of food if they are around. I understand that the attractant that comes with the trap might work better in the spring when the queens are out; but in the summer (end of August for me), that meat is the bait to use. That worked. It also makes for a great science project, as detailed above. The first two photos are after 15 minutes, the third one 30 minutes, the 4th is one hour later, and the last photo is 24 hours later. And they are still coming. I still haven't found the nest.
