rescue bee trap

Rescue bee traps are designed to catch a range of stinging and wood‑boring insects, including wasps (such as red wasps), mud daubers, carpenter bees, paper wasps, bald‑faced hornets, European hornets, and yellowjackets.

Listings describe these traps as effective from spring through fall. Some specifically note they can catch queens in spring and worker insects from summer through fall.

Set up by cutting the top along the dotted line, pulling up the tab, adding the specified amount of water, and hanging the trap. After about 2–3 weeks, close the top and discard the trap; the instructions emphasize not touching the bait or trapped insects.

These traps use colored patterns and multi‑dimensional visual cues to lure bees, wasps, mud daubers, and carpenter bees onto a sticky surface where they become trapped. Many listings describe them as odor‑free and pesticide‑free and effective from spring through fall.

Dual‑chamber hanging traps combine multiple attractants: the top chamber is baited with two attractants (one solid contained in a vial and one liquid mixed with water) while the bottom chamber uses a liquid attractant on a cotton pad. Listings often state a two‑week supply of attractant and note that refills are available.

Some traps rely on visual attractants (colors and multi‑dimensional patterns), while hanging traps use separate liquid and solid attractants in different chambers; listings mention two‑week attractant supplies for baited traps and that refills are available.
