Customer Reviews for Alpine Yellow Jacket Bait Station Kit with Onslaught

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.

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.

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.

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.
