What reviewers found
Synthesized across the trust-weighted source mix below.
The RESCUE! Reusable Yellowjacket Trap is the most discussed dedicated yellowjacket option here, with a 4.2 average across roughly 530 Amazon ratings and steady community attention. In r/Beekeeping, a user reported baiting it with sugar water and a splash of vinegar and filling it with yellow jackets while nearby honeybees ignored it; r/Edmonton reviewers call it 'pretty great' and note it works well for the first few days.
What reviewers liked
- Reusable plastic build with refillable attractant rated for multiple seasons
- r/Beekeeping reports it catches yellow jackets while leaving honeybees alone
- Strong early-season catch rates noted across r/Edmonton and retailer reviews
- Includes attractant so it works out of the box
Where it falls short
- Multiple reddit threads (r/Edmonton) report it 'maxes out' after about three days as wasps linger outside
- A Home Depot reviewer called the traps 'absolutely useless' on hummingbird-feeder yellow jackets
- r/Denver PSA warns these scented traps can draw wasps in from a wider area
- Handling and emptying drowned insects is unpleasant compared with sticky traps

The RESCUE! Reusable Yellowjacket Trap is the most discussed dedicated yellowjacket option here, with a 4.2 average across roughly 530 Amazon ratings and steady community attention. In r/Beekeeping, a user reported baiting it with sugar water and a splash of vinegar and filling it with yellow jackets while nearby honeybees ignored it; r/Edmonton reviewers call it 'pretty great' and note it works well for the first few days. The reusable plastic body and refillable attractant make it a multi-season buy, which reviewers contrast favorably against weekly-disposable alternatives.
- Targets Yellowjackets – Lured in by our specially formulated attractant, yellowjackets fly in through the holes in the bottom of the trap and become trapped. Once inside, they die from dehydration.
- Attracts Multiple Species – This trap lures roughly a dozen species of stinging yellow jackets found in North America. (Please note: this trap only targets yellowjackets; it will not catch wasps or hornets).
- Reusable – Durable plastic construction is built to withstand many seasons of use. The included attractant lasts for weeks without daily maintenance. Additional attractant refills are available (sold separately).
- Won’t Attract Honeybees – Our Reusable Yellowjacket Trap is specially designed to attract and kill yellowjackets, not beneficial honeybees.
- Made in the USA – At RESCUE!, our goal is to design and manufacture the safest and most effective pest control solutions available. We proudly manufacture our products in the USA!

Yeah, these traps are notorious for attracting wasps from far & wide. I strongly recommend NOT using them.
