New W·H·Y Trap is the answer
for 21 wasp, hornet and yellowjacket species

SPOKANE, WA, April 29, 2009 – Twenty-one is not only the winning hand at the Vegas Blackjack tables – it's also the number of species caught in a new insect trap by pest control innovator RESCUE!^® to be featured at the 2009 National Hardware Show, May 5-7 in Las Vegas at Booth #11947.

The new W·H·Y Trap for Wasps, Hornets & Yellowjackets from RESCUE!^® catches seven species of paper wasps, two types of hornets, and 12 species of yellowjackets. W·H·Y works on species found in any given backyard across the U.S. – whether it's red wasps in Texas, German yellowjackets in Wisconsin, bald-faced hornets in Oregon, Southern yellowjackets in Georgia or European hornets in Virginia.

As with other RESCUE!^® products, the W·H·Y Trap is "green", using non-toxic attractants rather than poisonous killing agents. A combination of three scientifically-developed attractants lures insects to the trap, where they enter through one of two openings. The attractant kit with the trap lasts two weeks, refills are sold separately, and no extra food bait is required. Once lured inside the trap, insects die naturally.

The W·H·Y Trap will catch the queens of each wasp, hornet and yellowjacket species in the spring before they build nests, and will also capture the foraging workers throughout summer and fall. Refill attractants are available so the trap can be used for multiple seasons.
