Product Details
Reusable Yellowjacket Trap
Roughly a dozen species of yellowjackets throughout North America are known to bite and sting people. RESCUE!®'s Reusable Yellowjacket Trap is designed to lure them all.
Our exclusive attractant draws them in through holes in the bottom of the plastic cylinder where they become trapped and eventually die of
dehydration.
Our scientifically formulated attractant lasts for weeks without daily maintenance. The trap's durable construction holds up in sunlight for many seasons of use and its clear plastic walls allow the user to see the yellowjacket "body count" so they can empty the trap as required.
Catches multiple species
Attractant lasts for weeks without daily maintenance
Attractant refills available, including the RESCUE!® 10-week Attractant Cartridge for even longer lasting performance
Won't trap beneficial honeybees
Double-chambered design prevents yellowjackets from escaping
Durable plastic holds up in sunlight for seasons of use
Used and recommended by the United States Department of Agriculture as well as major U.S. zoos, parks, campgrounds, resorts and school districts
Clear plastic tube allows the user to see the yellowjacket "body count"
Once inside, the trap's unique design prevents yellowjackets flying away or escaping. The insects eventually die of dehydration.
Where and How To Use
When possible, traps should be hung in a natural setting like trees or bushes or around the perimeter of an area where the insects have been observed entering. Hang the traps at least 20 feet away from outdoor activity areas like your patio, deck, campsite or picnic area - and at least 20 feet away from any known yellowjacket nests.
Use the RESCUE!® Yellowjacket Trap in the spring when queen yellowjackets emerge from hibernation and in the summer and fall when worker yellowjackets are foraging for food.
What People Are Saying
Just wanted to let you know I’ve been using the RESCUE!® Yellowjacket Trap for about 3 weeks and have caught more than 30 queen yellowjackets so far. It seems like a good thing for me since I am allergic to them and have to keep an Epipen around. Thanks for the effective product.

This is the second season I’m using the RESCUE!® Yellowjacket Trap. I purchased one late last season because we had a yellowjacket invasion around our apple tree. The previous owners of our house did not do anything to combat the problem. We caught no less than 150 of those things just in late summer and fall until all the apples were gone.
I put it back out this season in hopes of catching the queens. Ok, my expectations were exceeded! There are five queens in there! I don’t think we’ll have any yellowjacket problems this year! Thank you for making such a great product!

I just wanted to tell you how great your product is! I moved to Ohio (farmland) from NYC 2 years ago and have been amazed at the amount of bugs in the country! This summer, I had a nest of yellowjackets in my eaves and had to have a pest control company come to treat it. I saw all the ads for a different yellowjacket trap and thought I’d buy a few for the yard. Well, they didn’t last half as long as they were supposed to, and didn’t catch very many yellowjackets. In fact, saw them fly in, and then fly right out again! I decided to try the RESCUE!® Reusable Yellowjacket Traps. I put them out at about 12 this afternoon and already have trapped more than the other one trapped in 2 weeks! What a great product! And the fact that it’s reusable and doesn’t have to be thrown out is a God-send. Thank you so much for this product! You have won a new loyal customer, for years to come!

I have been using both the RESCUE! Yellowjacket and W·H·Y Traps for a little over two years in Western PA. My garden is full of and surrounded by choice nesting spots. These traps (6 of them now set around the perimeter of the tilled area) have been a total success story. They DO get the queens early and later on literally hundreds of plain old nasty workers. Thanks for developing this product line. It's super.

Spring came late to the Seattle, WA this year and so did the queen bees. I had noticed an agressive queen looking for a nesting location (my patio) several times over the period of a few days. Concerned that she would nest before I could find her with a can of Raid, I purchased this product and followed the instructions. Within two days I had caught a queen. This product works...period!
