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.

An attractant based insect trap has a fan placed close to an insect attractant. The insect attractant creates an attractive smell, taste or other olfactory sensation that elicits an attractive response in the insect. The flying insect moves toward the fan mechanism against the flow of attractant-laden air, in order to reach the source of the attractant. The flying insect enters the trap, toward the source of the smell, which is the fan. The entrance to the trap leads into a bag, into which the insect moves to find the source of the attractant, and is trapped within the bag. The user may easily remove the bag from the interior of the trap, and dispose of the bag in a refuse receptacle. A new bag is then placed in the interior of the insect trap, and the trap is ready to trap more insects.

An attractant for an insect trap functions by creating an attractive smell or other olfactory sensation, or an antennal response which elicits a behavioral response for a flying insect. In the case of the housefly (), preferred attractant ingredients are tremethylamine, butyric acid, Z-9-tricosene (muscalure), and egg powder. Highly volatile attractant components are dispensed separately, and all air-borne attractants are mixed and distributed together to enhance the synergistic effects between them. The present invention is the first explicit report of the synergy between chemical attractants (e.g. trimethylamine and butyric acid) and food attractants, such as egg powder. If the attractants of the present invention are packaged in a cartridge, then precise amounts of the discreet chemical attractants can be metered out for optimum attraction of insects. Further, the concentrations of chemical components of the attractant composition comprising the present invention are tightly controlled to avoid objectionable odors, but at the same time, attract flies.

Disclosed is a new attractant composition for yellowjacket wasps, which contains certain esters of butyric acid known to be attractive to yellowjackets, such as heptyl butyrate, octyl butyrate, or other esters of butyric acid, in combination with certain plant volatiles (kairomones), including trans-2-hexenol and methyl salicylate, said kairomones being used in combination with said esters of butyric acid to achieve an enhanced or synergistic attractiveness to yellowjackets. The new attractant composition is significantly more attractive to yellowjackets than the known attractant esters heptyl butyrate and octyl butyrate when used either singly or together.
