I have no idea about paper wasps. This trap works well against yellowjackets. Bait with apple cider and a piece of meat. Put a little dish soap in the cider.

I'm not sure about paper wasps, but the traps sure work great on NY State's garden variety wasps!

Not sure. It came with paperwork that showed what it attracted. They worked fantastic with just sugar water. I posted one right by the water and then one right up just off the lawn. Also have the third by the hummingbird feeders. Had a lot of problems last year not this year after I got these. Definitely recommend.

Hi Susan, it depends on what attracts them. If they are attracted to flowers, then it will probably work if you put pineapple juice or something comparable inside. If they are attracted to garbage, then put some smelly cheese floating in milk inside. You want to have fluid up to the line indicated in the instructions so the things will drown. Otherwise they can find their way out. Most don't find their way out and drown. Good luck!

We had three kinds of wasp and a few yellow jackets. The traps worked well in thinning them out. Now we can sit on our back deck and seldom see wasp unless they are in the trap. One added advantage is that the traps have gotten rid of hundreds of flies also.

This stuff will affect anything that touches it and isn't strong enough to pull free. Yes, if a honey bee lands or walks onto an area where you spread it, they will get stuck and die. However they won't be attracted to it in search of nectar or water. Just don't spread it near the water. I spread tanglefoot around the bases of my bird feeders and birdhouses and every insect that tried to cross it got stuck.

I treated my lawn last year and sprinkled it among my roses and rose of Sharon-they LOVE to MULTI-MATE in the new opening roses--I HATE Japanese beetles!!! I also squish any I can get my hands on-literally- and have also found a direct blast of raid will kill the beetles already on your plants. the treatment did seem to work on the grass. 2 yrs. ago they were SO invasive; last year not quite as bad. I've only seen a couple this year-so far! good luck.

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

I'm very surprised. I added "attractant", hung it out and caught several. You could try adding hamburger or soda. I know they are attracted to soda cans if left out.

They work well for me when used correctly. You must put up early before wasp has made their nest. Also take down in rain unless well protected and put right back up. I have had no wasp or bees.

I think it does attract flies from all of my neighbor's backyards. I wish everyone on the block had one of these. I don't think this is actually a problem because it does trap them very effectively and I do not see any flies other than right at the trap.

Sacramento, California weather is hot in summer. Seeds sprouted within 2 wks, flowers followed. I've noticed last week that those same flowers are starting yo sprout once again. So if Wisconsin is similar to sac, then these flowers will be an excellent addition to your yard. Good luck.

I would never get that close to wasps. There are excellent wasp killer sparays that have a range of 10-15 ft. Forget about freezing the wasps. It will not work.

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.

Will deter your species of wasp depending on their sense of what constitutes a "neighborhood" -- in general, about 100-200 feet depending not he species.

Works great for birds, but I doubt it will work for wasps, try a cheese cloth type of fabric.

Sure caught a lot of wasps and bees. Not sure what type. I have 3 so far and really help around hummingbird feeders.

Dear Gregory, Thank you for writing. Mason bees nest in existing holes, and they don't damage wood the way carpenter bees do. Our Mason Bee House is designed specifically to attract Mason Bees, so we would not recommend it for your purposes. We appreciate your interest, nonetheless! Thanks for making Gardener's Supply your source for gardening products and information. Please let us know if we can help you with anything else. Sincerely, Darcy Customer Service

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 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 am not sure. I bought the netting to keep cicadas off my fruit trees, which it would have done if they appeared in our area (which they ultimately didn't this spring). Wasps are smaller than cicadas so might be able to get through the holes, but the holes are pretty small, so maybe this would keep them off. I just picked our sour cherries and they were remarkably insect free, and the cherries were very ripe, so maybe the netting kept them out. Sorry not to have a more definitive answer for you.
