Customer Reviews of RESCUE! Yellow Jacket Trap

Fast and effective on YELLOW JACKETS
I hadn't used my trap in a couple years and started noticing yellow jackets sniffing around our back yard lawn. I didn't want my toddler getting stung so I got out and cleaned the trap, put in the last attractant packet and just set it sideways on the lawn. W/in 30 seconds (no exaggeration) there were five yellow jackets buzzing around it. (Note - as another reviewer has mentioned, DON'T get the liquid on your hands or clothes! Wash thoroughly.) In the first 10 minutes I caught five, then set up the trap about a foot off the ground. This has worked so much better than hanging it higher as I have previously done. In the first two days I caught 32. That more than doubled in the next two weeks. Now it's just a couple a day. It may be time to rebait. One thing I have noticed is that w/out the competition of the yellowjackets, I have seen more bald-faced hornets around. Those are the large, black and white, really evil looking ones. The attractant is NOT formulated for hornets so I guess using meat or fruit juice is the way to go for them. Technically, I know they aren't quite as aggressive as yellow jackets and they eat a lot of bad bugs, but I don't want them nesting in my yard! Good luck with your trapping!

Really works!
I'm with the others, this works well, and I recommend it highly. I just have a few tips to add: <
> <
>1. This is a must for hummingbird enthusiasts. After planting flowers to attract butterflies and hummingbirds and setting up a feeder, I started having yellow jackets constantly around the back of my home. They are more of a nuisance than a health threat to me. But since insect stings can kill hummingbirds or keep them from the feeders, this is a required addition for back yard enthusiasts. <
> <
>2. This feeder allows use of meat for bait. Read the enclosed instructions! A lot of helpful advice on it's use. Yellow jackets start feeding primarily on meat late in the season. <
> <
>3. Most yellow jackets I have caught get in there early in the morning. By 6pm, most of them are dead, probably from stress and exhaustion of trying to find a way out of the trap. Empty this daily - dead yellow jackets attract ants in the trap and before long you will have a messy trap with yellow jacket parts stuck to the inside. Although the trap will hold many yellow jackets before it needs emptying (as shown in the picture), frequent (read "daily") dumping will save time cleaning and keep from having an unappetizing sight for your back yard picnickers. (The ones I dump out the previous day always promptly disappear, probably eaten by foraging birds.) <
> <
>4. While this trap touts its double chamber design to prevent escape, an occassional yellow jacket has escaped. But you catch many more than the 1 or 2 that finds it's way back out again. <

folloow the directions and enjoy your BBQ season all year long!!
I purchased this 2 years ago, firstly, I used the small vial of stink that comes with the trap, then I tried the cartridge (10 week supply) The cartridge is the way to go. I also found out, after reading the instructions, (like I should have done in the first place!) that if the trap is placed outside in early spring, really early before the weather warms up at all, you will catch the queen before she nests. This is crucial to long term success. I caught 3 huge queens last spring, and guess what? NO YELLOW LACKETS all year long! It is definitely worth the planning to put it out early. (March here in So. Cal) Well worth the $$.
