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.

Works very well

Would Recommend

I’ve been using these traps for years. Baiting them is admittedly very fiddly and cleaning them every 2-3 weeks is a chore but boy they do work. I’ve enclosed a picture as I was surprised by the negative reviews. I don’t normally take the time to write reviews frankly but the low ratings just aren’t fair. I have 4 of these by the pool and patio and capture 50 or more in every reset of the trap. If you follow the instructions they do work! Don’t hang them too high or low and place them away fr...

Very Effective

Would Recommend

Very effective, especially near nests. See the picture. A closer look will show wasp and hornets, including bald faced hornets

Expensive for what you get - doesn't last

Would Not Recommend

Packaging is in small plastic sleeves - prone to spillage and wastage.; C'mon - do better - it's like this was designed to be wasted. I have several traps. The first day - lots of wasps are attracted. Day 2 - not so much. Day 3 - it's a tree ornament. Rescue: this stuff is too expensive for the amount you receive and how long it lasts. Package it better (in an eye dropper) and give more - so that is actually lasts the advertised amount of time !

INCREDIBLE!!!

Would Recommend

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!

Works like a champ. Die evil flying demons

Works great. Have refilled it twice this summer and i think i have caught over 60 various demons of flight. The initial catch had about twice as many as the picture attached. I have two teaps spaced about 30 feet apart. The

caught zero by the wasp nest

Would Not Recommend

Was hopeful this would catch at least a few of the paper wasps, yellowjackets & mud daubbers making homes on (& getting in) our home. It did absolutely nothing. Moved it to two locations & got zero results. Will try our own DIY mixture in the "trap" rather than buying useless chemicals again. But now we know.

Ineffective

Would Not Recommend

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

Amazing!!

Would Recommend

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

Would Not Recommend

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!

Killed thousands !

Would Recommend

I bought a regular wasp trap that used water and one attractant . Didn't work that well. So I bought some of these extra attractant pacs and added them all to the next trap. They swarmed it !! The bag was full in 3 days . I did it 3 different times . I must have killed a couple thousand wasps ! I think that when it doesn't work for people they are putting the traps out too soon. Wasps don't really go for it till late summer and fall. . Yes, I recommend this product. It works great if you use ...

Very effective way to get rid of many wasps

Would Recommend

I bought two WHY traps on May 6 2021 and to August 3 had trapped 236 wasps. Very easy and safe to set up and get rid of the wasp bodies.

Holy, DEAD Wasps!!! Finally….

Would Recommend

My husband purchased 2 disposable traps today for our Yellowjacket problem in out yard. It is keeping us from enjoying sitting on our deck as we have so many wasps hovering our trees. Within two hours, the traps have caught for sure over 100 wasps. He is going tomorrow to purchase 2 more traps so we can have more wasps “joining the party”! Last year we had the same problem, and tried the homemade trap (2 litre pop bottle with liquid and bait), and we didn’t catch a single wasp. I was scept...

Horrible!

Would Not Recommend

Bought this trap because our porch is filled with wasp and wasp nest right now so figured I would try this since I’ve had good luck with the fly traps even after a few bad reviews I read already, but this trap was a waste of money followed the directions step by step and still have not caught the first wasp or anything for that matter been out for 2 weeks and they are still everywhere!

Brilliant

Four wasp nests around our house this summer and first time ever, was stung twice in one moment! Hung three of these traps around deck and close to nests - astonishingly effective! We can now use our deck without fear of being stung! Thank you!
