Yellow jacket wasps have historically nested within the walls of the old pump house until I began hanging this trap. Baited with a pheromone attractant this has been a very successful method of capturing and drowning the mated queen before she is able to start laying eggs for the season.
These are non-native wasps that serve little purpose as pollinators. They will sting both people and animals without provocation. They are insect sociopaths.
Death to the queen.
