Sterling International Yjtr-Dt12 Yellow Jacket Trap, Reusable - Quantity 12 Flying Insect Trap Review

This is the real thing. This trap catches yellowjackets very effectively, by luring them with a yellowjacket sex pheromone. Not only does the included "attractant" massively and visibly work on yellowjackets, it has an advantage over poisons and many other traps in that it doesn't trap other insects, such as bees. It's weirdly fascinating to watch the excited behavior of yellowjackets around the trap, "sniffing" at the vents above, and searching for the entrances below. They even fight one another to get in! Once inside, the yellowjackets simply don't have the brain wattage to crawl back out.

The attractant is so powerful that you'll want to be careful around it, though. The included attractant (one 2-3 week dose) comes in a flexible clear plastic ampoule, somewhat like, but smaller than, the little soy sauce packets that come with Chinese take-out food. While setting up the trap, I tore the ampoule open at the notch, and accidentally squirted a few drops of the attractant on skin and clothes. (Not wanting to be the center of attention of a bunch of randy or disappointed yellowjackets, I quickly went indoors, washed and changed my clothing before continuing!)

If you even suspect you have an allergy to yellowjacket stings (their venom, a neurotoxin, is different from that of bees), be sure that you get someone who is not sensitive to their stings to set up or service the trap. Yellowjacket and bee stings can kill those who are sensitive!

Note that, at least initially, there will be a LOT more yellowjackets buzzing around the trap than there were in the same area. So I'd suggest you don't set up a trap within, say, 6-10 feet of hummingbird feeders, pets, or people.

I got this trap because 1) I've hated yellowjackets since I was stung by seven of them at once as a small boy, 2) yellowjackets have been recently bullying the hummingbirds at my feeder, 3) yellowjackets have been eating my apples, and 4) I've long wanted to see pheromone technology in action.

The trap has been catching about five yellowjackets a day since I've had it. It's been breezy here lately, but I've noted that the trap catches more yellowjackets on the rarer warm, windless days. Twenty-three yellowjackets down so far, and the hummingbirds seem much lest pestered by them. Nothing but yellowjackets in the trap; no bees, flies, etc.

I separately bought an extra 10-week attractant cartridge from the same manufacturer. I haven't used it yet, but it looks to be a lot more idiotproof than the original tiny ampoule.

Criticisms: It would help if the trap came with more generous, and safer, packets of attractants. It would help if some kind of hook were included, even if only a heavy-gauge insulated copper wire a foot or two long, from which to hang the trap.

Overall, an effective and fascinating "green" use of directed, nontoxic, biological jujutsu against a pesky critter. But remember to be cautious: The attractant pheromone REALLY WORKS!
