    Poison bait is the best control, but not Onslaught

    By Neal on 12/14/2014

    I have had excellent success for 10 years with baited yellow jacket traps, which have reduced my backyard yellow jacket problem almost to nil here in the SF Bay Area. I switched from other microencapsulated insecticides to Onslaught when the latter became registered for the purpose. I had mixed results with Onslaught -- better than not baiting (or using traps), but yellow jackets were still an annoyance when we were eating outside. Then I read a UC Riverside study (http://www.pestboard.ca.gov/howdoi/research/2009_yellowjacket.pdf) that reported that "The only registered bait (Onslaught

    Disappointed. Make your own bait stations.

    The bait stations are poor quality plastic. For the price, I would expect that they not crack down the side when removing the lid. I'll give 3 stars for the insecticide. Zero for the expensive bait stations. I will convert old pill bottles in the future.

    First couple of tries no luck

    By David on 12/08/2017

    I tried the fruit, jam, meat selection process with no insecticide and the YJ went straight for the tuna! I dosed in some onslaught and they ate it a bit but soon left it alone. Also there were some dying at the traps so I tried again exactly as recommended. 12oz tuna to 1/4tsp onslaught. Same result. I'll try again in the spring and hope for better results.

    Disappointed

    By Laura on 08/31/2018

    While the order and shipping was great, the product did not work as well on yellow jackets as I thought it would. We've been inundated by yellow jackets this year. After two weeks of treatment, they have slowed down to a lesser amount of presence, but still more than a typical year. I was expecting the Onslaught to eradicate them completely or nearly so. Maybe my expectations were too high.
