Will this work on yellow jackets? I have some living in my car door and I need to get rid of them or would I need the ground nesting yellow jacket one

I don't know the answer, but my gut would tell me to use the one that sprays the furthest distance - toward nightfall when it is cooler, so most of the group is inside the nest and less active. You might want to look at this reference and see if this brand has a stunning agent to prevent them from coming out and stinging before you can take cover! Also take care not to crush any as they release alarm pheromones that bring the rest of the colony to their rescue. http://www.wvu.edu/~exten/infores/pubs/pest/hpm7002.pdf I would also try to figure out what attracted them there in the first place - spilled drink, etc. to prevent future infestations!

Are the wasps around? I use the yellow jacket product they sell plus some dried beef lung, but haven't put mine out this year, no wasps yet.

I don't think it would be very effective unless you find where they are coming from. I spray ant & roach killer in the area where I see Them. We spray around the baseboards and the outside of the house about every month when they are active. But even the professionals have a problem finding a permanent solution. But the Ant-Zap is amazing.

I dont know, I get these out before hand, ( I put them out when its still a little cold) they wont work if an established nest is already there, destroy the nest if you can, then try to put it up, I am not sure of the kind of wasp I have but these really worked for me.

I tried everything to kill Yellow jackets that had invaded my home. They were getting in between the floor joists. After just one time shooting a little of this powder into the entry hole in the wall, and you must do it at night while they are not active, and I never saw another Yellow Jacket. This was a big hive, from the number of them that was going in and out all day, and it killed them all overnight. The best item I have ever bought for this purpose.Royce

Very good questions. The sticky stuff's efficacy seems to wear off pretty quickly. Either that or the pigeons I "invite" on my balcony have learned how to avoid! The spikes have also not deterred them. And all these years I thought city pigeons were stupid? Not so! Good luck getting rid of your pigeons. I've just about given up! Oh, and I do not have leaves blowing around on my balcony so cannot address that issue, sorry.

Yellow jackets are wasps, so I am confident they will be killed if it reaches them. However, be very careful to wait until late at night, wear protective clothing, and move out of there quickly. If I were doing it, I would stick the sprayer nozzle down the hole, set it to stay on continuously, and run for my life.

My girls had sticktight fleas. I used the dust and spread diamataceous earth on the hen house floor every time I clean out the hen house. They will make your chickens sick and lay less eggs if you can't control them. I have not seen any lice or fleas on them since using this method.

Hello, We do not recommend that type of application and will not be effective against soil inhabiting insects. Thanks for asking! Andrew Hemmer

I'm not sure. It appears we have fewer wasps & yellow jackets where I placed the Waspinators. That said, I'm not certain if it's because there have been fewer of the pests this year because of our rainy summer, or if it's because the product worked. Wish I could be more helpful.

I live on the edge of a wooded area on the coast of Maine. My garage has a dirt floor and is easily accessed by rodents--I have tried a combo of peppermint oil full strength, moth balls and am hoping to keep mice out of the car that i leave in there for the winter. If you have any other ideas post them here. I hope it works.

I don't know about the birds, ... I also live the in the country and sprayed it around my barn, hoping to get rid of a groundhog. I don't think it lasts long enough to attract coyotes (at least it didn't at my house) ... and I still have a groundhog.

If you put these traps out sometime in spring when they start coming around you usually end up with the queen yellow jackets in the traps dead. We now have no nest. Keep them out until the end of the year when the're no longer around. Works great for the beheaded wasps, flies, nats...does not work for mud wasps

Have never tried on a yellow jacket or hornet but my guess (based on the sizes of insects I have hit) is no. It would prob only stun it with one hit.

The idea is to put it up to prevent wasps/bees from moving in to begin with. I put it in my shed where they inhabited last year and I haven't seen a single one. As far as a reduction in wasps if they're already there and you put it up? Couldn't tell ya how that'd go.

I had a yellow jacket problem and with one shot of Delta Dust they were gone in 3 days. So for yellow jackets it works perfectly.

We've had lots of yellow jackets this year and much earlier than usual. I bought this double chamber one from Amazon and had a smaller single chamber (model YJTR-SF4) that I bought from Home Depot last year. For some reason, the yellow jackets like the HD trap better. Maybe it's easier to crawl into or something. I've emptied it twice already. I've even swapped locations, doesn't matter - more go into the SF4 model whereever I place it. I replaced the lure with 10 week lure and it's really bringing them in.
