Summary: Does not work as effectivly as advertised
Comment: Our yard was infested with Yellow jackets. After installing 6 of these with the better separately sold attractant we watched yellow-jackets fly around these traps for days without having any more then 3 or 4 actually enter the trap. After the full 3 month term of the attractant we used the trap maybe captured 30 to 40 bees out of what we perceived as hundreds flying around.

Summary: Good Trap
Comment: This trap works pretty well, and is easy to operate. The cost of the replacement cartridges is a little steep, and the attractant doesn't seem to last too long (6-8 days), so order/buy extra attractant. If you are only into trapping soldier yellow jackets, it works, Couldn't draw any queens, though. Fun entertainment!

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!
