I put out three of these. Ordered em from Amazon for 10 bucks each without the attractant, or you can get em from Lowes for about 12 bucks each. I used my own attractant recipe: 1 part apple cider vinegar to 1 part of sugar water solution (1/2 cup of sugar to 1 cup of water) and
ONE drop of Dawn Dishwashing liquid. The commercial attractant didn't do squat. I don't recommend buying it. Here's the link for the trap. Works very well, too. At least it does for me. If you can catch the queens, you've got the biggest part of the battle won. LINK

If you want a cheap VERY effective yellow jacket trap, get a 1L coke bottle, pour the coke out but leave about 1 inch of coke in the bottom to act as the attractant, cut the bottle right where the neck fattens out to the bottle width, take cap off, turn cut piece upside down and push securely into the cut part.
