Yellow Jackets

I saw the first yellow jackets of the season so it's time to place your traps out in the garden.

The exclusive Rescue! Attractant replicates the sex pheromone of the yellow jackets to draw them inside the trap. The yellow jackets enter the trap through the holes on the bottom section, then fly up through the interior cone into the clear catch chamber. Catches multiple species. Attractant lasts for weeks without daily maintenance.
