Does this unit trap yellow jackets and wasps?

I don't believe so, only flying insects that are attracted to carbon dioxide and light (mostly mosquitoes and moths).

I have emptied the trap twice and not found any. I do have plenty of them but not in the trap. Moths and Mosquitos only thus far.

Yes, it does. There was a wasp in my house today, and I chased him around til the Zapper could make contact. After the first zap, he then dropped to the floor and I zapped him a few more times, as he was still moving. But YES, he ended up DEAD!

The label does not specifically state the it kills Yellow jackets. It does say this: Treat bee, wasp and hornet nests late in the daywhen most insects will be present. Allow 2-3 days for the colony to die and repeat after 21 days, if necessary.

Yes, Denise, I am amazed how well that aspect works. We have plenty of wasps flying around the yard but none bother with this feeder. I've had lots of trouble with other feeders in the past. Can highly recommend this one!

I have these, 6, in a wire wrap type hanger and I don't have a bee or yellow jacket problem. Mine is on a hanger in the middle of a butterfly garden with a lot of flowering plants, lantana, butterfly bush, etc. No bee or yellow jackets.

I have used these traps for years and find them very successful for: 1. flies, 2. wasp, 3. other flying insects but no bumblebees. In fact I have one trap setting directly over our carpenter bees nest and none have ever gone in the trap. I personally use Hornet spray for the bees which kills immediately in hole or out.

I have used it in wasps, but it is a little more difficult (at least for me) to catch them since they are more "slippery" than spiders and I tend to be terrified of them. I have also caught flies (those big greenish ones) when they buzz against the window trying to get out following the light with no problem. I have never had the opportunity to try with bees.

I do not have trouble with bees or yellowjackets getting into this feeder. I hang it from a hook that hangs down from under the eaves. I don't invert it until I'm out there ready to hang it so it doesn't get any nectar on the outside of the feeder.

I really don't know. I think it might because I did not have any more trouble with wasps, yellw jackets or hornets. I don't have carpenter bees.

I had one a couple of years ago and wore it out catching moths and spiders in the house. I believe it would not work on stink bugs because their shell is so hard. This device sucks them into an electrified-type catcher, and then electrocutes them. Sure would smell bad. I ordered one again and it did not work at all and had to be returned. Got my money back though.

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.

Not particularly squirrel proof but does a great job keeping away hornets and wasps. If you hang it from a thin diameter shepards hook and spray that with silicon it will make it very tough for the squirrels to get at it.

this thing didn't scare off any flying insects from building high rises in our yard, right next to it..waste of money, 'fraid to say..we finally contacted local mosquito yard control and they sprayed and we found dead wasps, yellow jackets, spiders everywhere - it was awesome! we got our yard back!! good luck to you

Sorry, we don't have scorpions around here, but it sure worked on yellow jackets and wasps!! (We're not professionals, only homeowners.)

Sorry it took so long to answer back. I've used only on carpenter ant and wasps!! It works great on those two.

Yes, it does. However, my husband created a barrier of Ajax to fix the problem while we were on vacation. The automatic feeder sits on our outside potting table. Under each leg of the table, he made an aluminum foil bowl (or you use a plastic dish) filled with Ajax. The ants couldn't pass the Ajax and the food was safe. The only problem was the neighbor cat figured out the feeding schedule and the pigeons would fly in to grab a meal.

I have not had an opportunity to use it on any of these but I am sure it would work if they alite and stay put long enough for you to run get it. Wasp and bees may come at you if you miss. But that is the same risk you take of you used a swatter.
