I'm in an area with both yellow jackets and bees. The product is fine and has not increased activity.

No, I have never had that problem. I have used several other brands of beard waxes and this one is, in my opinion, hands down the best!

I have taken this product few times (for hives) and had no problems. My sister who is usually very sick during ambrosia pollination season takes this product 2 months before it starts and had no problem so far and managed to get through the season with just mild discomfort (vs.severe allergic response). My niece who had sinusitis and allergy had just completed her first bottle and had no problems.

I did not have that particular problem. I did not find the product very effective at keeping "critters" away from my garden. I will not purchase it again.

I'm not sure about yellowjackets, but I know that honey bees have little to no interest in pollen sources near the hive. I have 2 of these traps set up around my house. I had to empty them regularly and only use the attractant they come with. I got an early start to prevent them from building nests in the first place and it has worked great. I hardly see them anymore. Give them a couple more days and if they don't go to it, move it away from the nest.

Not sure about the how or why but I can promise you that it works. I did put one dead bee in the jar thinking it would attract more.

From what I understand it works fairly well for some people. However, be aware of this product. It also seems that a pretty significant number of people who have tried this product (including myself) have a really bad allergic reaction to it which leads to very angry hives wherever it is applied. I suggest you test it on a small area of skin before committing to a larger area use to avoid this outcome.

Perhaps it's only coincidental, or perhaps my HOA's landscaping treatments are to blame, but I rarely see bees around my garden. It's not clear whether it's the Bayer or some other factor. It could be that the Bayer simply *deters* the bees (I don't see any dead or struggling bees), same as it does other insects.

Paul, I'm not sure this will 'attract' anything. If a honey bee happens along and lands on it he might get caught but I don't think it will lure them in. In fact, I think the shortcoming with this product is that it does not seem to have an attractant.

When they fall into the jar it is difficult for the bees to get back up into the box and then the holes there are at an angle so the bees can't maneuver to get back out. That's the best I can do. I can only tell you that our jar is filling up. It took a long time for the bees to start entering the trap but once they did they didn't stop.

I have yet to find an ant species that doesn't like this product. Granted, yours may be a different variety but I have seen it attract and kill at least 2 different types (Black and Crazy).

I used it last summer (Tampa Bay area) and had good results. I put it in a pump sprayer and sprayed all around the doors, base of the house, on the walls, and deck. Not as many got in the house since they weren't hanging around the doors. With all our rains, I had to re spray every couple of days though. It seems to repel them for awhile. I didn't have as many getting in the house last season. If it looked like there was going to be a few days of no rain, I would spray the shrubbery too. You definitely need to strain the juice with some cheese cloth as you put it in the sprayer. It's garlic particles will clog the sprayer wand. I wore disposable gloves when handling the cheese cloth. That STRONG garlic smell will stick with you if you get it on you. It didn't get rid of them all, but it did help, and it's not toxic. Reapply as often as you like. Just don't spray the bees and butterflies directly.

I live in a very buggy area right now and so far it really has not attracted extra bugs. But then again it's in close proximity to the cat box. I'll just say I haven't noticed any bugs being attracted to the freshener, but I can't say that's not because the ants were busily wending their way to the glorious attractions of the cat box. We had an ant problem EVERYWHERE in the house, and we just ended up using ant traps, but I don't think the bugs were unduly drawn to the air freshener. We don't have mice, so I can't help you there. Sorry!

Bees would be attracted to anything you put on your skin with a fragrance. I would imagine. Especially a honey based product. Which I don't think this is.

The bees are still attracted to this feeder but can't get in the "yellow blossom" holes. Ants are the biggest problem as they can enter through the "yellow blossom" holes. I try to deter the ants by putting a strip of double-sticking tape on the window glass surrounding and away from the feeder. Thedouble-sticking tape on the window glass doesn't look great but it does the trick.
