What Customers Are Saying

Customers are sharply divided on this wasp trap's effectiveness. Many report dramatic success, capturing hundreds of wasps within days and noticing significant pest reduction around homes. However, an equally large group describes complete failure, with traps catching nothing despite visible wasp activity. Common issues include attractant vials that are unusable or lose potency quickly, yellowjackets escaping from the bottom chamber, and unintended capture of bees or ants. Some note placement and height affect performance. Overall, results vary dramatically by location and wasp species, leaving reviewers split between calling it transformative and labeling it a waste of money.

Poor investment, product didn't work

Would Not Recommend

I bought this product over two months ago, even ordered extra bait kits and ZERO wasps caught. I think your bait lures have expired their life (gel vials and lure liquids).

This piece of junk had caught every bug, fly, insect in my garden except the wasps!? Even trapped a honey bee which made me even angrier. Save your money and find something better.

Complete garbage!!

Would Not Recommend

Complete garbage!! This doesn't work and yellow jackets and wasps are not attracted to it and act like it doesn't even exist. 3 weeks later and nothing. Even with a nest 8 feet away. I had hoped this would be a great alternative to spraying poison, boy was I wrong. Wasted money and still had to spray.

It doesn't work

Would Not Recommend

This has been hanging up in different places around my yellow jacket and red wasp infested house for nearly 5 weeks and 2 refills later. The only thing this has managed to trap are moths, mosquitoes, and knats. Won't be wasting any more more of my money on this expensive product. Raid Wasp and hornet has a better solution so far.

Waste of money!!

Would Not Recommend

Day 3, it attracts HAVE 30-40 around the trap, but I haven’t caught one wasp, hornet or Yellow jacket. I also have the Yellowjacket trap, nothing in it either DONT WATSE YOUR MONEY. Not that this will be published.

Worthless!

Would Not Recommend

Wasps flying around the trap. Not a single bee, bug, yellow jacket has entered the trap. Going to try re-baiting and if it doesn’t catch something, going into the recycle bin.

Works great

Would Recommend

Every year in the months of November into December we get invaded by yellowjackets in our back yard. Tried these traps and they put a big dent in the population. There is a trick, don’t hang them high. Put them about 3 feet off the ground near flowers if possible. This year we captured 2 queens as well as a couple of hundred yellow jackets.

They don't stand a chance

Would Recommend

I've baited the trap this refill was made to use in 2 times. Got different results. There are 2 chambers with attractant in each. The bottom was most effective the first time and top was most effective the 2nd time. Got many more yellow jackets in the top chamber in early fall.

TOTAL WASTE OF MONEY

Would Not Recommend

5 WEEKS and not 1 wasp or bee of any kind. After 3 weeks with nothing I added sugar water and juice to what was already in there after reading a bunch of reviews online. So now it's 2 weeks with the new and improved liquid and still nothing,but the wasps are still everywhere driving me crazy! Biggest waste of $14 EVER

Wow! Two hours in and check out all the wasps...

Would Recommend

Hung this trap because wasps were appearing close to my beehive. Was a bit concerned that it might trap bees as well as wasps. Have been checking periodically for the past two hours and only wasps are trapped and am pleasantly surprised at how many have been trapped! I bought another one of these traps a few weeks ago to trap wasps in another area of my property and was pleased at the results so thought I'd give it a try on another area.

Big disappointment

Would Not Recommend

This trap has not caught a single red wasp, yellow jacket, dirt dauber, and believe me we have plenty of all three, so we are deeply disappointed in this product.

I can't say enough good things about this product. It just works! I empty clean and refill every 2 weeks and have done since May. This is an average 2 week catch. Colin

Wasps hoarding the hummingbird feeders

Would Recommend

We had so many wasps taking over the hummingbird feeders, the hummers left. I put up this trap and it was filled in about 3 days. After dumping it, it filled again—both chambers this time. Hummers came back now that they can feed without wasps chasing them away. Need to get a refill of the attractants.

Doesn't work AT ALL

Would Not Recommend

The yellow jackets could care less. This trap was a complete waste of money. Yes, I followed all directions. They aren't remotely interested.
