this movie was better than i thought it would be. i thought that seth rogen did a pretty good job, and the guy who played kato was awesome. this movie was pretty good.

Loved the idea!  Save the bugs.  Well, I cant catch them.  The opening is too small, so I took the black tip off.  The fan is too gentle so I cant suck the bugs up.  Our problem is masquito hawks.  They swarm in at night and it's hard to keep them at bay.  We have to use the vacume unfortunately.  We tried

I tried baiting the yellow jackets with a peach and worked very well to get them into the trap but they didn't stay trapped..They learned their way out and were soon making multiple trips in and out to my great dismay. It didn't attract any wasps with just juice inside it. So have to figure another way to get them to drown inside.

I had a wasp issue in the front yard. This was the second type of wasp trap I tried. The first trap did not work at all. This one did not catch any wasps either. I am giving it three stars because even though it did not catch any wasps once I hung this in the front yard the wasp population dropped dramatically. So it did not do what it was supposed to do by catching the wasps, but it did reduce the population which is OK.

It kinds got beat up at the top of it. I don't know how that happened but it does keep hornets away from my front door.

I am severely allergic to bees and this stuff REALLY attracted them. My yard rarely has bees in it because I plant a lot of strong smelling plants to repel them. I have a mosquito allergy and very sensitive skin so I am always on the look out for natural bug sprays.

BEWARE THIS STUFF ATTRACTS BEES.

Oh man. What a bummer it was when I got stung for the first time in 10 years. Not only that it attracted many gnats and other small flying creatures. I will never ever use this stuff again.

They stink like an old outhouse but work great trapping fly's and hornets; very smelly but they DO catch hornets. The hornets go in to catch a fly or maggot and can't get out. There is usually a sentry hornet that hangs out at the opening (it keeps flies away and other hornets, and tries to get fly's from outside the bag, or it goes in after them. Once that hornet is gone, another arrives and watch for live bait. Hornets only want live bait. I love these things but do not set near where you eat as they really stink. I personally would rather not have flies and use food tents.

Warning: Do not use or fill it indoors!! If you fill it in the kitchen or inside your house, do not spill any in the sink, floor, trash, or your hands, as it really reeks, as it is supposed to to attract fly's, like to an outhouse. Some bags do leak from manufacturing defects (heat sealed), so don't risk it in the house. Yuck!! It does not wash off easily. Do not use warm or hot water in the bags as you will dissolve the smelly contents too quickly and not attract fly's to the heat. Once hung, refill it there with a plastic pitcher and a drop of non smelling soap, regularly, only to the line (it gives them space to crawl in and get stuck inside, and drown quickly), and towards the end of the season add some apple-juice to attract more flys and hornets, and yellow jackets. Adding a drop of non-smelling dish detergent helps them drown quickly, by breaking the surface tension, and to sink to the bottom. If you fill it too full, or the dead fly's stack up, the others will crawl out easily. Keep a space between the yellow plastic and the fly's and water. Once full of fly's just unhook it and set it on the ground to dry out then toss the whole bag in the trash; it will stink. Be sure once you have opened it that the yellow top seals in the open position from the weight so fly's do not crawl back out. Be careful not to get stung while refilling if a stinger creature is close; you encroach on their hunting territory. These really work well.

These have worked well for me for many years and I prefer The Big Bag model since they hold more and need less refilling. Highly recommended!! These can stink up an eating, playing, or relaxing area but gets flies like crazy, and some hornets and YJ's. My wife cannot stand the smell so I get the job.

I was stationed in the desert and the flies literally taunt you to kill them.  They bite you and can't get them off of you.  I used this and it seemed to help.  It didn't cimpletely remove the problem, but it certainly helped me.

We have carpenter bees around our log cabin. My husband finally used the racket and the shock does stun them. His only complaint is he wished it was bigger like the true size of a tennis racket.

Within a week of putting one of these up by our front door, a wasp nest was getting built within 5 feet of where I put the fake nest. It attracted wasps rather than repelled them.

Bees and wasps drive me nuts.  I found several areas where nests were forming, I hosed them down at night... I haven't seen them go back since.

Good for catching flies, ants, and a variety of other flying bugs...no hornets.  Threw it in the trash today...a sticky mess.  Would not purchase again or recommend for a hornet problem.  Had to add an ant moat above it due to the unbelievable number of ants that climbed the shepherd's hook where I had it hung.

I purchased two of these wasp traps.  I put apple juice in the ridge as instructed; however, after a few days in the sun, the juice hardens and no longer traps the wasps.  Any advice?  They are very pretty though.  Thank you.

I like how the foam envelops the nest and kills the wasps that land after you have sprayed.
I don't have a huge wasp or hornet problem, but the ones that I do have built nests near our front and
back doors where we constantly ran into them.
My son is super phobic about flying insects, so I was very happy to get a chance to test this
spray and I found that it is very effective at killing wasps and hornets.

Let me be very clear from the get-go that this trap's effectiveness with wasps is NOT the reason I don't like it. I bought a 2-pack because big, hateful wasps were driving our wrens from their nest boxes and hummingbirds from their feeders, and that's not a problem any more, at least partly due to this trap. I've only put out one, and it's done the job I bought it for.

But it works TOO well. I knew when I got it that it would attract more than just the rat-bastard wasps that wouldn't leave our birds alone, but I wasn't prepared for the unbelievable number and variety of small bees it caught. There are MANY more of their carcasses inside the trap than there are wasps, and these bees are beneficial, non-aggressive pollinators that I am sad to have murdered. In addition, it's a damn good thing that most butterflies can't fit through the holes, because they apparently find the recommended attractant mixture just as enticing as the bees and wasps. Several butterflies have been crawling around the outside of the trap, trying to get inside. A few small moths have found their way in, but only a very few. I really wish there were a way to only attract the hateful, bird-frightening wasps, but that's obviously not feasible with this type of trap.

Second, the first trap leaked All. Over. My. Deck. It started leaking before I even hung it up. At first I thought I was just sloshing it around too much, but it continued to leak over the next 24 hours or so until there was no liquid left inside. Thanks to some rain, most of the puddle is gone now, but it was a sticky mess for a while. Doesn't seem to have affected the trap's efficiency, though; I guess the dead bee bodies are soaked well enough with the attractant to keep 'em coming. It's actually pretty nasty to look at now.  I'll be taking it down soon so it can go into next week's trash; I obviously can't reuse a leaky trap, even if I wanted to, and I feel both grossed out and sad every time I look at it. Maybe in future, making the bottom part of the trap opaque would be a really good idea.

I don't know whether I'll ever use the second one. I guess it depends on whether significantly more wasps return to pester our birds, but it would take a pretty big infestation for me to risk killing so many non-aggressive species this way again. In addition to these traps, I purchased a fake wasp nest (also sold on Amazon) to hang in the same general area, and I'm hoping it does the job of scaring away the wasps so I don't have to murder any more beneficial insects.

Bottom line: I would only recommend this type of trap to people who are desperate to get rid of hateful, aggressive wasps, and only if other methods, like fake nests, don't work first. In my case, I'm not sure the end result was worth the cost to the environment, particularly considering the ongoing decline in pollinating species.

PS: Deal Republic contacted me and offered a 15% refund on this 2-pack if I would write a review. I don't know if they will actually read it, but I've been honest about the trap itself and how I feel about it. I hope they can use the information to improve their product.

Unfortunately the weather has been rainy and although I have put the trap out with the necessary liquid in it, I have caught no wasps, but I haven't seen them flying around either.  So either they've gone away or the weather is keeping them away.  I will change the liquid in the trap in a few days and maybe put different liquid in it as I have read on other reviews just in case they return.  I have a 7 year old who is allergic to wasp stings, and it is important that they are kept away.  I have used one in the past and had good luck with it.  So we'll see.

My in laws recently were infested by bees... they've had professionals come in but stray bees are still appearing suddenly. My husband was about to go after one with a fly swatter when I remembered my mother in law showing me the racket when we got here and telling him to try it. Wow. Amazing. He could get it mid air and not have to try to wait for it to land or battle with it. Great product.
