How It Works

Uses our exclusive VisiLure® technology to lure the target insects with appealing colors and a multi-dimensional pattern. Insects are attracted by the colors and patterns on the TrapStik, then get stuck on the adhesive surface.

Pet Safety

Our TrapStiks do not use poisons or killing agents to kill insects.  Instead, they rely on a highly effective visual lure (the pixelated pattern on the cardboard surface overlaid with glue) to attract the insect to the glue surface.

What It Catches

Catches paper waspsmud daubers and carpenter bees. Redesigned to include bird guards and spikes on the top and bottom caps, the trap keeps wildlife safe while continuing to catch the target insects.

Where To Hang It

Our Wasp, Carpenter Bee, and Deck and Patio Fly TrapStik are intended for OUTDOOR USE. These TrapStiks control the targeted insect and keep them from entering your home or living space. We recommend hanging the trap near evidence of activity of the targeted insect.

Good Locations for the Wasp TrapStik:

  • Eaves
  • Garages
  • Sheds
  • Wood railings
  • Wood fences
  • Underside of wood decks

Avoid hanging TrapStiks where birds or other wildlife activity happens, and where children or pets may come in contact with the adhesive.

The RESCUE! Wasp TrapStik uses our proprietary VisiLure technology to lure and catch paper wasps, mud daubers, carpenter bees, and similar wood-boring or nest-building insects that often invade eaves, decks, fences, and other wood structures.
RESCUE! TrapStiks use our exclusive Visilure technology—a scientifically designed combination of colors and patterns—to lure insects to the sticky surface. The target insects are drawn to the pattern, land on the glue surface, and are trapped. No killing agents are used. Instead, insects die naturally from dehydration.
Hang the trap outdoors on or near wood structures like eaves, fascia boards, decks, wood railings, fences, garages, sheds, or under decks. The trap needs to be placed in close proximity to the area(s) where you’ve noticed wasp or carpenter-bee activity. Because it relies on a visual attractant, the insects need to be able to see the trap or they won't be attracted to it.
This trap relies on a visual attractant and sticky surface to catch insects. Instead of using killing agents or chemical sprays, the TrapStik catches insects on a sticky surface, where they naturally die of dehydration. Avoid placing the trap where children, pets, or non-target wildlife (like birds) can touch the sticky surface.
Yes — the trap is weather-resistant, designed for outdoor use, and can withstand rain and heat while remaining effective. Placing the trap in an area sheltered from rain will prolong the life of the trap.
Install early in the spring to catch queens and scouts before nests get established, and keep it up through fall for ongoing protection. Once the trap surface is full, it should be replaced.
By catching wood-boring pests like carpenter bees before they tunnel into the wood to nest, the trap can help protect wooden structures from damage.
The TrapStik is ready-to-use out of the box: hang it near the insect problem, and let the visual lure and adhesive surface do the work.
The trap remains effective until the sticky surface becomes covered with insects or debris. Once the trap surface is full or no longer sticky, we recommend replacing it with a new trap.
If you still see insects, ensure the trap is hung in a good location near the insect activity (wood structures, eaves, decks), and consider using additional traps if infestation is heavy. It's important to place traps the traps in close proximity to the insect problem, because they rely on a visual attractant to lure insects. If the insects can't see the trap, they won't be attracted to it.
