The RESCUE! WHY Trap, manufactured by Rescue, is an excellent trap for addressing a paper wasp, hornet, or yellowjacket problem.
It works so well because of its double-chambered design and three different attractants. The top chamber is baited with two attractants: a solid contained in a vial and a liquid mixed with water. The bottom chamber is baited with a liquid attractant poured onto a cotton pad.
Wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets can enter the trap through the top cap or the holes in the bottom cap. Once inside, the insects cannot fly out and die by drowning (top chamber) or dehydration (bottom chamber). Because of its durable construction, it can be reused for multiple seasons.
Tools Needed
The trap comes ready to use, but you will need a pair of scissors, string wire, or twist tie before proceeding.
How to Use
- Step 1: Unscrew the bottom cap to remove the cardboard coaster. Grasp the anterior comb to remove it and the contents inside.
- Step 2: Slide the cone back into the tab channel and snap it into place.
- Step 3: Place the cotton ball into the attractant cup. Cut the tip of the attractant tube and carefully empty the liquid onto the cotton.
- Step 4: Screw the bottom cap back into place. Thread your twist tie through the top tab, then hang the trap outdoors in the natural setting, like a tree 20 feet away from human activities or an area known to have a yellow jacket nest.
Where to Use
We recommend the trap be placed at least 20 feet away from an outdoor activity area, such as a patio or deck. Generally speaking, the Why Trap will capture more paper wasps near a house structure and more hornets and yellowjackets near a natural setting of bushes and trees. Placing multiple traps around the perimeter of a yard or area where insects are entering can be highly effective. The trap should also be placed at least 20 feet from a known yellowjacket nest.
When to Use
This product can be used in early spring when the queen paper wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets emerge from overwintering to look for new nest sites. It can also be used throughout the summer and fall to capture foraging wasps, hornets, and yellowjacket workers. Wasp, hornet, and yellowjacket queens hibernate during the winter, then emerge to look for nest sites. Paper wasp queens are the first to appear, usually in late winter. Hornet and yellowjacket queens emerge later, during the first warm days of spring. When you use the WHY Trap at that time, you can capture some queens and reduce the likelihood that a nest will be established nearby.
Safety Information
The Rescue WHY Trap is safe to use around children and pets when applied according to the product label instructions. Always wear the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) when handling and applying this product.
Special Considerations
The attractant will only last for two weeks. You will need to purchase more attractants when you want to reuse them.
