Ratings & Reviews for RESCUE! Reusable yellow jacket trap Powder Canister Insect Trap

No wasp went in

I have a ton of wasps around my pond and I placed this wasp trap on a hook right by it and not one single wasp went in.

Doesn’t work

Good but not great

Apparently we don't have many of these pests around at this time of year. It was unfortunate that Lowes did not stock the W-H-Y traps (i.e. Wasps, Hornets & Yellowjackets) which is what I really wanted and had to go elsewhere to obtain. I bought this one and will use it for this season.

works well

works well

Not so good

So far it has not captured any wasps, hornets or yellow jackets, and the pests are still flying and making nests on my property.

Nice price!

I haven't used these yet but have had in the past and they sometimes worked good.

Does not work

Purchased at local True Value Hardware store. Bought the ten week packet. Put on a or were the yellow jackets stop all the time. Three weeks in and not a single one in the trap. Save your money.

These work. Get them out early in the year.

Have used these for years. They work. The secret is to get them out early after the first frost. Catch the queens and you won't have drone bees. Try to find the 10 week cartridges. Too much of a pain to refresh them every 2.

Best Yellow jacket Trap on the market.

I put a 10 Week Cartridge in the unit in late winter as the weather starts to warm to catch the queens when they start appearing from winter hibernation. About mid summer I add a 1in square of the juice catcher from a batch of chicken thighs (freeze first, then cut into squares) this will attract even more yellow Jackets as he sun warms the liner and the wasps come flying in.

Multiple uses!

Great product! Not only catches wasps but helped make Halloween more fun!

Didn't Work

I bought this and the W.H.Y. traps. I had high hopes that these would work as described. They haven't. Both traps have been up for two weeks according to the directions and have been a disappointment. The yellow jacket trap caught one. The W.H.Y. trap caught two. I intended to buy more attractant to refresh the traps, but now I won't. I have to find a different product that works.

Recommend and will buy again/refill

The product worked very well. I noticed the following day after setting up multiple yellow jackets were in the trap. A couple weeks later there are at least 20 dead in the trap. The other nice thing about this is you can reuse the trap.

Works well. But buy the 10wk cartridge refill too.

The trap is working pretty well. We bought it to deter the yellow jackets from the hummingbird feeder. We placed it about 30ft from the feeder. We didn't want to put it too close bc the first few days the scent trap is really potent, and we got a lot of YJs coming into the yard (more than usual). After 4wks we get about 5-6 a day. Yes, we still get YJs at the feeder but much fewer, and they have to pass the scent trap either way, so we're keeping the number down but not totally eradicating them...

awful I feel it was a waste of money, Not one bee

I bought 10 days ago and not 1 bee was trapped. Even tried a different location than directed.
