Ratings & Reviews for RESCUE! Why Wasp, Hornet and Yellowjacket Outdoor Liquid Device Insect Trap

Hit or miss

Seemed to work but either the wasps/hornets in my area are too smart or aren’t interested

20 wasps in two days

Put this Rescue WHY Trap on an oak tree the wasps seemed attracted to and had twenty wasps two days later. Also put a Rescue Disposable Wasp Trap by some milkweeds the wasps were swarming around and caught 15 wasps in same two days. We had wasps everywhere before this, even in the grass so couldn’t let kids play in the yard. Already I’m not seeing any.

Not Working even when double doses of baits

Caught 2 in upper section and 7-8 in the bottom section after 2 days I cleaned the dead and added baits from what was to be week#3 and only caught 1 more wasp. Even tho the other end of the patio and the hummingbird feeder are still covered.

INCREDIBLE!!!

We noticed an uptick of yellow jackets/wasps in our front porch area. My wife picked one of these up from our local hardware store and I put it up that night. Within 24 hours, we noticed a HUGE difference in the population of our annoying little friends. We bought 2 more and can't believe how effective they are!

Don't Waste your $

I have a hornet problem so I gave the WHY a shot. After one month hanging about 20 yds from the nest, it trapped a whopping two hornets. Save your $12 and get some hornet spary for $3 a can. I've killed at least 150 - 170 so far with that solution.

Works Great

Works great as the attached photo shows - this is after 1 1/2 days of being outside near the bird feeders. The wasps kept strafing the birds and I was getting sick of it - this solved the problem. To add to the trap feature, I LIGHTLY coated the inside of the cone and the walls of the capture chamber with vegetable oil. Just enough to coat the wasps body & wings and decrease their ability to climb their way out. I don't know why other people had an issue with this trap; it works well.

Modify It

This got two stars because people don't know how to modify it, fill it halfway full of apple juice and dab a little juice inside the opening and hang it up. Once they find it and the longer the apple juice hangs it starts to ferment and then it really starts catching them. Just make sure they're all dead before cleaning it out. I'm including a pic of just one of my traps from last year.

Must buy to get rid of bees and wasps

Easy to assemble. Working perfectly. I caught a great deal of wasps and they bees

Waste of money

I put it together exactly and I have not caught one wasp.

This thing sucks

It doesn’t work at all. It sat in the middle of three wasp nests for weeks and has not caught one wasp.

It has worked for us

I see tons of reviews with people who caught nothing, but it has worked for us. One time we caught hundreds (see photo), usually a few dozen. This spring we caught four queens. I'm not sure what we're doing differently than the others...

Ineffective

I was highly infested with yellowjackets but only captured four in several days. I ended up calling an exterminator.

Amazing!!

Not sure what all I’ve caught in my WHY trap and I should have taken a picture before I poured them into this bag. There are some HUGE wasps, yellow jackets, and maybe some hornets in here. This is about three weeks worth! This thing WORKS!!!

Caught two Paper wasp in a month

I bought this trap thinking I would be able to get some of the wasp numbers down around my property. The only insect this trap attracted was a few fruit flys. Was able to capture 2 paper wasp in a month. Cost me $7.00 per wasp….. not pleased with this product!

Effective trap

We have had the trap up for less than 24 hours and have caught 10 - 15 wasps. Very effective trap
