Wasp traps

The Rescue TrapStik for Wasps is the best overall wasp trap because it uses specialized visual patterns and non-toxic sticky surfaces to catch paper wasps, mud daubers, and carpenter bees without foul-smelling chemical baits.[1][2]

Different traps suit specific needs depending on your target pest and whether you prefer a reusable or disposable design.

Tips for Placement and Safety

• Hang away from seating : Place traps 20 feet or more away from patios, decks, and doors to draw stinging insects away from your living areas.
• Structure placement : Hang sticky traps from man-made structures like eaves, porches, or sheds where paper wasps look to nest.
• Protect wildlife : Avoid placing sticky traps where curious pets, children, or insect-eating birds can reach the adhesive.[rescue.com](https://www.rescue.com/products/traps/why-trap-for-wasps-hornets-yellowjackets/)[2][3]

If you can tell me which specific insect you are seeing (wasps, yellowjackets, or hornets) and where the problem is (near a patio, trash cans, or roofline), I can give you a more targeted recommendation.
