Alpine Yellowjacket Bait Stations are designed and labeled for use with Onslaught microencapsulated insecticide. When used together, they are the perfect combination for controlling yellowjackets (also commonly called meat bees) around residences, restaurants, resorts, campgrounds, zoos and other areas where humans or animals are harassed by yellowjackets.
Onlsaught insecticide is the only insecticide with an EPA approved label for yellowjacket baiting.
How to use the stations :
STEP 1. We recommend testing a few types of bait before using the stations. Recommended food baits incude raw chicken pieces, raw fish, canned tuna, or cat food. Raw chicken pieces or tuna tend to work the best.
Testing several foods. Looks like they are going for chicken!
Yellowjackets devouring chicken bait.
STEP 2. Mix your choice of bait with Onslaught. You only need a very small amount of Onslaught for the bait to be effective. We recommend mixing 1/4 teaspoon of Onslaught per 12 oz. of bait.
STEP 3. Place a few ounces of bait in each station and hang the stations outside around your home 5-6 feet off the ground and about 50 feet apart. For example, you could hang the trap from a tree limb. Keep the stations out of reach of children, but in areas where the yellow jackets can enter the stations.

Best Yellow Jacket Bait
By A. on August 22, 2011
Verified PurchaseAfter trying everything else we could buy locally to get rid of our yellow jacket problem, we tried Alpine's kit. It seemed expensive, but you get a multi-year supply with it. It really works. Within three days, the problem was solved.

alpine bait station
By aj on September 1, 20110 star is the rating I would give alpine, have been using for weeks but the wasp are worse and yes they are eating the bait but not being killed, waste of money.
Expert response:
This kit is for yellow jackets only and not wasps. This customer is using this kit for wasps and it is not labeled to do so which is probably why it is not getting the customer results.Was this review helpful to you?

Really worked for me
By Dave on September 18, 2011 Verified PurchaseI tried the water-filled bag traps from my local garden store (the bags with an attractant where the yellow jackets crawl in but can't find their way out), and although the traps seemed to accumulate a lot of yellow jackets, my problem persisted. I found this product had been mentioned by a professor from UC Davis and decided to give it a try. I tested several kinds of bait and found they liked fish/shrimp cat food. I mixed a half-recipe, only 6 oz to start out and replaced it after 2 days. After 4 days the yellow jackets were gone. The bait stations are a little messy (and smelly!) to clean out afterwards, but I can't argue with the effectiveness. My wife and I can sit in the backyard again. As was mentioned in the FAQ, it can be a challenge to thoroughly mix so little poison with the bait. Using cat food helped because it was smooth and not lumpy. I also used a little extra water: I added the poison to a teaspoon of water, stirred, then carefully sprinkled the poison all over the bait, then thoroughly mixed for several minutes. So little poison is used, the supply should last for years. I give the product 5 stars for effectiveness but 3 stars for the care needed in mixing the bait, and the messy cleanup. 4 stars overall. I definitely recommend this product and will absolutely use it again next year.

I Don't Know What They Want!
By Deborah on September 7, 2011 Verified PurchaseEither the wasps here in N. CA are too smart or they don't eat anything! I have tried the following with and without the bait on it with no interest from the wasps: raw chicken, cantaloupe, beer, tuna in water, catfood, a sweet glaze, soda. So I can't tell if the Onslaught Alpine Yellow Jacket bait station is good or not.

Use attractant too
By Neal on June 9, 2012To get yellow jackets to swarm to the bait station, simply use some of the Rescue brand yellow jacket attractant (you can put some on a cotton ball, for example). This is the attractant used in yellow jacket traps. The attractant is very effective at luring yellow jackets. The bait and insecticide to the rest.

Is this enough
By Stacy on July 30, 2012I do not see how you can mix 1/4 teaspoon of onslaught with 10oz of bait! thats two 5oz cans of catfood and 1/4teaspoon can not mix with that amount of bait There is going to be alot of bait that has no onslaught in it no matter how much you mix it. can someone exsplain that to me? If it were liquid I could see it, But on a solid like catfood there is not enough at 1/4 teaspoon.

Yellow Jackets be gone, I hope!
By Larry on September 24, 2011 Verified PurchaseI purchased the Bait Station Kit and was impressed with its ease of use. The Yellow Jackets were immediately taking the Onslaught mixed bait back to their nests. I mixed the poision with some finely chopped crab. Still waiting for the results.

Onslaught Yellow Jacket Bait Station
By Carol on September 12, 2011 Verified PurchaseThis product is amazing. We were inundated with yellowjackets - so many, in fact, that we couldn't use our swimming pool during the day! Our cat couldn't eat her food in peace; swarms would surround her bowl, so we started feeding her indoors. I found the onslaught system online and ordered it. Though it took a few weeks, the number of yellowjackets decreased with each use, rendering our pool area useful again. The weather has now cooled but I will be ready in early spring to set up my onslaught system next year, and wipe out the nest BEFORE it becomes a problem. Thank you, Onslaught!

- Yellow Jacket Bait station... very effective
By Joseph on September 29, 2011 Verified PurchaseLast year at our annual 'cider fest' event the yellow jackets were intolerable. There were dozens swarming around our cider press all day and four of our guests received stings. After researching online we decided to give Onslaught a try. We were skeptical at first since we didn't see much activity at the bait stations. The day of our event was sunny and warm and we were fearful of a repeat of the previous year but to our delight only a very few yellow jackets were seen and no one was stung.

Seems to Have Worked
By Paul on September 21, 2011 Verified PurchaseI had a significant reduction in Yellow Jackets after putting out the bait stations. I grow wine grapes and the bees were so bad, they appeared like a cloud in the vineyard. I did, however, spray with Venom the following day for brown marmorated stink bug control so I can't say for sure which was more effective but I will continue to use the bait stations next year for sure.

- Better delivery method
By Mark on August 22, 2012Only 4 stars for now until I see a drop in the yellow jacket population. I am actively using this kit however, the jackets were more attracted to my hummingbird feeders with homemade nectar than they were to the cat food. Besides I practically gagged when I changed the cat food every 3 days. I now use onslaught with the homemade hummingbird nectar. You can get the details of this recipe by Googling homemade hummingbird food (4 water to 1 sugar boiled together). Then follow these directions: 1. add about an 1/8 tsp of onslaught into 16 oz of homemade nectar in a glass bottle labeled “bee poison.” 2. cut a clean household sponge into strips and insert the strips into the bait stations 3. position the cut sponge close to the holes in the bait station. I found the bees can get in but cannot get out and soon die without leaving with poisoned nectar. 4. Soak the sponge until there is about 1/8" to 1/4" of liquid in the bottom. This keeps the sponge moist and full for ~ 2 days. 5. Hang the station away from your hummingbird feeders. 6. Pour more poisoned nectar over the hanging bait station. This attracts them even more. 7. Watch and enjoy as the suck on the sponge and leave for their nest. 8. I’ve only done this for 3 days now and have not seen a drop in the population yet. But, they are more active now at the stations than they were with cat food.

- Yellow Jackets
By Paolo on September 26, 2012I tried this product and I’m sure it would have worked if only the buggers would have taken the bait. They would not enter the bait stations. I also tried it on baited paper plates near the entrance to the hive, but the yellow jacket would not stop to investigate. I tried chicken, fruit, fruit juice with no luck. It did kill a lot of flies though.

- They're still here . . .
By Sandy on October 1, 2012I have a systemic allergy to yellow jackets, so I am VERY interested in killing them all. They liked my choice of bait (tuna) and carried off pieces of the bait after Onslaught had been carefully mixed according to directions. I've cleaned and re-baited the traps five times so far, so why do I still see yellow jackets on my property? I'm awaiting the next approved pesticide for these critters, hopefully something more potent that will make them all go away.

August 23, 2010Jeff asked:
QWhat is the active ingredient that kills the yellow jackets? Will Onslaught harm honey bees?
AOnlsaught contains the active ingredient Esfenvalerate. Like most other insecticides Onslaught will kill honey bees if they come in contact with the product. If you use protein based food baits such as chicken, cat food or tuna you will greatly reduce the chance that honey bees will be attracted to the bait stations and contact the Onslaught.

QDoes this product kill only the Yellow Jackets that come in contact with the bait?
Does this product kill only the Yellow Jackets that come in contact with the bait?
Can it kill the queen if the Yellow Jacket exposed to Onslaught returns to the nest?
A When the yellow jackets take the bait that has been mixed with the Onslaught, they take the bait back and feed others in the colony including the queen, killing the entire colony. We recommend trying several different baits such as jelly, water packed tuna, wet cat food, raw chicken, fresh fish or cola. This will help you determine what the yellow jackets are foraging for and then following the directions included with the Yellow Jacket Kit, you can add the Onslaught to the bait.

QDoes the Onslaught and the Alpine Yellow Jacket kit work on "paper wasps"?
I have a large problem with "paper wasps" which are
different from the "traditional" wasp.
AThe Onslaught that comes in this kit will kill just about any type of wasp if they make contact with the product. The idea behind this kit is that you mix the Onslaught with a food item and wasps take the food item back to their nest and share it with the other wasps, killing the colony. If you have a type of wasp that does not take bait, then the kit would not be very effective. You can set out a few different food items to see if the wasps are attracted to them. If the wasps are attracted then you can use the kit successfully. If the wasps are not attracted to the food, then you should consider just spraying an insecticide such as Onslaught topically to areas where there has been wasp activity. Here are a few recommended baits: raw chicken pieces, raw fish, canned tuna, cat food, or fruit juice. Raw chicken pieces or tuna tend to work the best.

QHow many bait stations does the Alpine Yellow Jacket kit include?
The picture shows four, but is that how many you get if you buy the kit? I scanned the page and found no information as to how many station the kit comes with.
AEach kit contains four reusable bait stations with hanging strings and one pint of Onslaught insecticide concentrate. The information was listed on the product page under the product description, but it did not stand out from the rest of the paragraph. We have now made the information bold to make it easier for our customers to find.

May 16, 2011Bryan asked:
QHow many Alpine Yellow Jacket Bait Stations do I need for a 2.5 acre vineyard?
I have a 2.5 acre vineyard. Yellow Jackets eat the entire crop.
AAccording to the manufacturer you will need to use a minimum of 8 Alpine bait stations per acre for a total of 24 bait stations for your 2.5 acre vineyard. It is helpful to start baiting before the yellow jackets get very active and the fruit gets too ripe.

July 4, 2011Eric asked:
QOnce I mix the Onslaught with the bait, how long will the effectiveness of the Onslaught last?
AThe Onslaught itself will stay effective for several weeks but the yellow jackets may ignore old bait that is spoiled or moldy. Yellow jackets tend to go for fresh bait so we recommend changing out old, spoiled or moldy bait for best results.

August 25, 2011Tucker from Alamo, Ca asked:
QHas anyone tried combining Onslaught with an Attractant?
I am having a hard time getting the YJs to take the bait. Any ideas on how much is actually required to destroy the nest?
A The nutritional needs of yellow jackets change periodically. During the early part of the season yellow jackets are mainly looking for proteins such as fish or chicken. They will usually forage for proteins first, while they are feeding their developing yellow jackets back at the nest, and this is the best time to bait for them. Using protein baits will also help deter honey bees from entering the bait stations (honey bees are on the decline and it is best avoid harming them whenever possible). During other parts of the season yellow jackets are looking for carbohydrate or sugary foods like soda, beer or fruit juice to help maintain energy levels. We recommend that you put out a couple of different protein baits (fish, chicken) and a couple of different carbohydrate baits (cola, fruit juice) without adding the Onslaught. Leave the bait out for a day or two and see which bait the yellow jackets are attracted to. Once you see which bait they like, then you can add the Onslaught to the mix and put out the bait stations. Be sure to use the recommended usage rate of 1/4 teaspoon of Onslaught per 12 oz. of bait to avoid making the bait repellent to the yellow jackets.

August 26, 2011Bob from Cupertino, Ca asked:
QHow do you effectively mix 1/4 tsp of Onslaught with 12 oz of chopped meat?
I have little faith that my bait will be evenly mixed with such a small amount of a rather thick poison. How to do you attack this problem? I am thinking of diluting the poison in about 1 oz of water and then mixing with the bait.
AIt does not take much onslaught for it to work. You can take a small paint brush and paint it on the meat and then discard the paint brush or any other similar method. You can mix the onslaught with water as well. That should still get the job done and does make it a little easier to apply to all the meat.

August 18, 2011Michael from Hewitt, Nj asked:
QHow much Onslaught do I need to use when baiting for yellow jackets?
Should I be diluting the Onslaught as per directions on the bottle or apply it straight to the chicken? Do I soak the chicken in the bait?
AAs per the instructions that came with the kit you will need to mix 1/4 tsp of Onslaught per 12 oz of bait. Be careful not to use more than the recommended amount of Onslaught as this can lead to bait avoidance. In case you lost your instructions or didn't find them in the box you can still read them on the Alpine Yellow Jacket Kit product page on our website (scroll towards the bottom of the page)

September 4, 2012Carolyn from Cleveland,tn asked:
QIf honeybees come come into contact with this will it the kill all others in it's hive?
Honeybees are too beneficial. Some collateral damage acceptable. I do not want to eliminate an entire hive in the process of killing yellow jackets.
AIf honeybees enter the station and consume the bait they could potentially carry it back to the colony. To avoid having this happen you can try to bait using protein based baits only. Honeybees are usually only interested in carbohydrate or sweet items and usually will avoid protein based baits or meat baits. Yellow jackets do change their nutritional needs and sometimes will only feed on protein based baits and at other times will only feed on carbohydrate based baits. You can put out a couple of plates containing food items (raw fish or chicken, cat food, juice, jelly, beer) and see which items they forage on to determine what kind of baits would be acceptable at this time.
