The Oak Stump Farm "Yellow Jacket" Wasp Trap, and other yellow jacket traps, were evaluated, through a grant available from the Rhode Island Pesticide Relief Advisory Board, by George D. Christie, M.S. in Entomology. (Pest Control Magazine, August, 1994)
He asked three basic questions:
Which commercially available trap catches the most yellowjackets?
Are commercially available yellow-jacket baits worth using?
What does it cost for an area-wide trapping program?
"Throughout the tests, the Oak Stump Farms trap was either the best or, rarely, the second-best trap at collecting yellowjackets over the test period. Whether in a residential setting, at a restaurant or in the formal gardens at the University of Rhode Island, from mid-August to late September, the Oak Stump Farms trap consistently performed well."
The Oak Stump Farm "Yellow Jacket" Wasp Trap ... can be easily immersed in soapy water so that the water pours into the entrance holes and the air escapes through the top." The ease with which the trap can be immersed virtually guarantees you won't be stung by "escapees."
By varying the bait used, you can vary pest control. Though a home-made cost-effective 50/50 combination of Grenadine and cherry drink mix is recommended for almost all flying pests, adding meat and fish bits can render your outdoor area nearly pest free.
