Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rescue YJTR-SF4 Reuseable Yellowjacket Trap with Attractant
Customer Review: Awesome yellowjacket traps
Summary: 5 Stars
We live on the north shore of Long Island, 1 block from the water in a heavily wooded area. Every year, yellowjackets like to vacation in our neighborhood, moving from one property to the next, as folks chase them away. This is now beyond just being a nuisance but downright dangerous -- we've all gotten stung once or twice, they have nested in and caused damage to our homes, and with little ones running around it's just not cool. I've tried many solutions, but this one works the best. I should deduct 1 star for being completely overpriced (a 0.25 cent plastic trap with 0.50 cents worth of a chemical pheromone -- I'm a chemist by the way), but they work so well I decided to give 5 stars anyway. I have 7 of these strategically located around the perimeter of my property, and over the course of the summer have trapped and killed hundreds of yellowjackets. These work very well. I just need to look around to see if the attractant is available in bulk or a cheaper form from somewhere.Customer Review: The GOLD standard in yellow jacket control.
Summary: 5 Stars
By far, the most effective pest control for Yellowjackets I've ever come across. How effective you ask? We had a major Yellowjacket problem and I went to 4 stores...all of which were out of this trap. At each store, there was at least 1 person (one place had 3) looking around for the traps because of the yellowjacket problems in this area. Finally the 5th place I stopped had just restocked and their shelves were full...and yes, there were 2 people already picking them up when I arrived.
Come home, put the solution on the cotton ball and by the end of the first 12 hours, we had caught 13 yellowjackets. I come home tonight from work and we are now up to 25 yellowjackets this device has captured in under 24 hours!
Now those are measurable results!
EDIT:
I just added a photo...over 40 yellow jackets trapped in just 3 days!
Customer Review: This product really works
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried other yellow jacket traps with limited success. This one really works. In the short time I've been using them (3 weeks) I've caught over 50 yellow jackets.
I bought traps because I got tired of fighting with them every time I barbecue, especially in the early fall.
I had cut up a fresh pineapple, and took a couple of wedges and pushed them onto the plastic stakes on the inside, along with the attractant. I'm catching even more now doing that.
Next year I'll have to try putting them out earlier in the season, to get the queens. But for now, it's keeping the yellow jacket population down around the house.
Excellent product - I like that it's re-usable too.
Customer Review: Works Great in the Sun
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried these traps (and the disposables) in several locations, and I think I've found the trick: they need to be in a location that gets full sun to work best. I have one hanging in an all-day-shade location and one hanging in a full-afternoon sun location. The afternoon-sun trap has, in one day, caught more than 20 yellow jackets (no honey bees, thank goodness). The shaded trap caught nothing. The traps are less than 70 feet apart-the shade is the only difference. This is going to be another bad yellow jacket year in much of the U.S., so get this trap right away. Oh, and put a rolled piece of smoked ham on the meat spikes. I have ham on both of my reusable traps...it can't hurt! Good luck!Customer Review: Exceeded expectations
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
