Willert Yellow Jacket Wasp & Hornet Trap

The trap is designed to work with common household items. For yellow jackets, a protein-based bait like a small piece of raw meat or fish works best, while wasps are often more attracted to sugar-based liquids like fruit juice, soda, or a sugar-water mixture.

Because this trap uses food-based bait rather than toxic chemicals or harsh sprays, it is generally safer than traditional pesticide methods. However, it should still be hung out of reach to prevent curious pets or children from knocking it down or disturbing the insects inside.

You should check the trap periodically to see if it is full. Once it reaches capacity or the bait loses its effectiveness, simply empty the contents, rinse the container with water, and add fresh bait to reset it.

No, this trap is strictly for outdoor use. It is designed to lure insects from the surrounding area, so placing it indoors would likely attract more pests into your home rather than keeping them out.

No, the trap relies entirely on a non-electric, mechanical design. It uses the scent of the bait to draw insects into the container, making it a simple, low-maintenance solution for your yard or patio.
