Summary: Exceeded expectations
Comment: Wow! Motivated by a yellow jacket sting, I purchased 2 of these nifty traps. The first bait used came with the trap, and supplemented with lunch meat. They flocked to this feeder. In minutes, there were 30 of these insects trapped and buzzing around. A little later, another 30 crowded into the trap, and I swapped it out for the second trap. I did this from midsummer to early Fall, and I noticed that as the season changes, so do their attractors. Lunch meat did the trick mid summer, and melon in the Fall was best. A great product, and easy to clean out. Be sure to make sure all are dead since they fly in at different times.

Summary: Great product with room for improvement
Comment: These traps are very effective, no question about it. I'm perplexed by the reviewer who reports no casualties. I caught >200 yellowjackets (AKA "meat bees") within 2 days after baiting my 4 traps this year.
One piece of advice- the pheromone bait is never effective for 10 weeks as claimed. It may be a function of >90 F temperature (which coincides with heightened yellowjacket activity), but these baits never work well for me for more than 2 weeks. I recommend using small pieces of meat- raw, cooked, soaked in BBQ sauce, it doesn't matter. These little devils prefer food to sex, and meat is their ambrosia. I've done side by side comparisons with pheromone- versus meat-baited traps, and the meat generally catches 3 to 5 times as many in a given time period. Save yourself the $$$.
My second complaint is that the plastic becomes brittle after a couple of years, presumably from prolonged UV exposure. Thus cleaning old traps often breaks them irreparably, especially the little prongs that hold the perforated funnel-shaped basket into the main body.
With these shorcomings in mind, these are still the best thing I've found and I will continue using them, buying a couple of new ones every year with the money I save by eschewing the pheromone bait.

Summary: This is Amazing
Comment: This works amazing! Use the 10 week bait supply to you don't have to keep putting new bait in. I have been using it for 4 years Before I bought it the first year I had so many yellow jackets I could not go out at dusk! I got this I caught over 500+ my first year! Each year there after I catch 200-300. I never see them flying around anymore & no longer worry! Just make sure you hang it in a sunny & slightly breezy location to catch the most!

Summary: Hasn't done squat
Comment: The product arrived quickly and in good condition. I have had it outside for about 3 weeks now and have not caught squat. The yellow jackets are still flying around, apparently unimpressed.

Summary: Every Spring We Refill Our Rescue Yellow Jacket Traps
Comment: We used to have a real problem with yellow jackets, especially around our poultry pens and runs. Ever since using these traps, not a yellow jacket in sight! We couldn't believe how well these work. I can't recommend them enough to anyone bothered by yellow jackets. PS Never have seen a honey bee inside the trap... just yellow jackets! GREAT!
