Ratings & Reviews for RESCUE! RESCUE Reusable Yellowjacket Trap – Includes Attractant

2 in 4 days

I purchased this in August with great expectations after watching the videos. I hung it up as required placed all the stuff inside as required. I waited for three days. I finally got one yellow jacket in one container and then I waited another day after putting a whole pack of attractant in one container, and I got one more yellow jacket in the other. It’s been a week or two since then and I haven’t gotten one more yellow jacket. Am I doing something wrong?

bait is useless

I'm feeding about 18 feral cats in my backyard (I've had almost all of them spayed/neutered). Recently my yard (mainly cat food feeders) was swarmed with yellow jackets. I tried the disposible traps, they are only partly effective. I bought the reusable traps. NOTHING would feed in them. I added cat kibble to the bait station. The traps are now filling up. I don't know what the provided bait it except useless. I like the traps and will continue to use them; I will just provide my own...

Incredible

I think I inherited ours when my in laws downsized to a condo. Within 5 minutes the wasps were flocking in!

Reusable Yellowjacket Trap

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] While this trap is easy to put together, it is not very good looking. Also, it did not catch any yellowjackets. I even tried putting in different locations and used it for a long time with no results.

A Hell-Storm for Hornets

Had a large influx of hornets after Hurricane Ian. Set two traps up; one was pheromone wick type, other was water based type. Absolutely slaughtered them and only seeing a few stragglers here and there. Photo shows partial body count. Have an extra wick in reserve!

Effective trap

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I held off using this for a little while until I saw yellow jackets again in our yard (they come every year) and overall this year had been a pretty mild season for them. That said, I did eventually use the trap on the few that I came across while mowing. The trap seemed pretty effective considering the lower population of them I have seen this year and I have so far avoided getting stung (*knock on wood*). I will definitely use this again and ...

Looks good, zero yellow jackets

I purchased this trap four weeks ago and set it up per the directions. Zero yellow jackets in the trap, yet plenty of yellow jackets nearby, including on the hummingbird feeders. I wanted this trap to work, unfortunately a failure for me.

Works Great

We have placed at least 300 of these around Fairchild AFB for years. They are extremely good for catching yellow jackets out foraging. People enjoy watching them fill up. We use the 10-week bait which works very well at attracting yellow jackets. Keep up the good work!

Not For Us

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I liked the idea of this product and wanted it to work, but it simply didn't. The trap caught two yellowjackets and there were/are many, many more than that in the area it was placed. So I rate it as ineffective and not worth the time, cost or trouble.

Reusable Yellow Jacket Trap

I hung one of these in a tree as we are having a big problem with yellow jackets. I hung it in the later morning and by the next morning at 7 am the trap was FULL of yellow jackets! I am totally amazed and infinitely happy!! I went out and bought 7 more (we have a very large yard). Thank you so much!!

doesnt work at all

put 2 next to yellow jacket hives. 72 hours later and not a single bee trapped. big waste of $30

Keeps the kids safe

For years we have always had bee/wasp problems. My wife shows me an add for rescue traps and I don't pay it no mind. She buys a few and I am amazed on how much it reduces the bee traffic on our back and front porches

Not for us

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Reusable Yellowjacket Trap is a good idea if you have tons of yellowjackets, which we do. My issue is that this does trap bees as well and with the bee population dying down I couldn't, with a good conscious continue to use this trap. Granted it's well made and sturdy and definitely does what it needs to I'll live with the yellowjackets to save the bees.

Works good so far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Now that summer is here, I finally put this product to good use. It was very easy to set up. I put the trap on my patio and so far, I haven't had a problem with yellowjackets. I'm looking forward to being yellowjacket free all summer. I will definitely purchase again.

Not sure

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this item in March. I live in the Midwest, yellow jackets are not out then. Due to the arrival date I could not give this a proper review. It looks like it would be a good product and is well built.

Best with the 10-week Attractant Cartridge

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Living in central Texas, we have a lot of insects in the backyard. It's difficult to tell the difference between stinging insects and Rescue makes it easy to identify yellowjackets vs paper wasps. It picked this up in case we had any stray yellowjackets living around the yard. The reusable trap comes with a packet of attractant that you're supposed to pour onto a cotton ball. I tried this method first and found it such a mess and a hassle. I go...

Worked okay

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It’s nice that it’s reusable. Last year we had a fair amount of yellow jackets flying around our backyard. The trap has captured several yellow jackets and there have been far fewer in our backyard. It’s an eyesore so we keep it hidden on the side of our house.

Didn’t work for us.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’m always looking for something to help with these flying terrorist. The design seemed flawless and it was easy to assemble. Unfortunately, the yellow jackets that plague our house must be mutants, because they didn’t care about this trap at all!

Working Well So Far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The cartridge has done well so far, trapping a lot of yellow jackets. It has been a mild season so far, quite wet, so hoping the holiday weekend will allow for more action as better weather is expected. Seems to have the same quality as the original set up, so should be good to go. Very easy to install, and looks to be easy cleanup.

Easy to Use

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This yellowjacket trap is so easy to set up and use. Just hang it close to where you see yellowjackets and wait. It does exactly what it is supposed to do! I like that it is reusable as well since yellowjackets can be an issue well into fall where I live.
