ABSTRACT:
A trap is provided particularly for yellowjacket wasps. The trap includes an outer enclosure with a funnel therein dividing the enclosure into a first chamber and a second chamber. A tip of the funnel has an opening which allows yellowjackets to pass from the first chamber to a second chamber, where the yellowjackets become trapped. The enclosure includes legs which allow the trap to rest upon an underlying surface. Entry holes extend into the first chamber. These entry holes are at least partially visible from a side of the trap. A top cap preferably forms a portion of the second chamber and can be removably replaced so that trapped yellowjackets can be dumped and the trap reused. An attractant is provided within a cartridge which is removably attached through a port in the enclosure, so that the cartridge can be replaced when original attractant is depleted.
