Yellow Jacket / Wash / Hornet Trap

This trap features 6 funnel style entry points that once they enter, insects can not find their way out of. Multiple small holes allow the scent of your bait to be carried on the breeze, drawing them into the trap.

Yellow jackets can decimate a hive through robbing and bees have a hard time stopping them. Use these traps in the spring, summer and fall. Do not add honey to them and you will not catch honeybees.

Make your own attractant:

Insert one or two small pieces of raw meat, fish / seafood or wet cat food. (Cooked meat is not as effective). Then fill with any fruit juice to the bottom ring. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and one or two drops of dish soap. Reassemble trap and hang. When reusing, rinse with fresh water. 

*Pro tip – If you set these out early enough, you can catch a queen yellow jacket.  Catch her, and you just eliminated an entire colony of yellow jackets.
