Last year I used onslaught and cat food for yellow jackets. That is what O.S.U. recomends. This year a friend across the river told me to use fipronil . It's the active ingredient in frontline dog flea medicine . So far I fed two cans of cat food in a cage, laced with 5 drops of fipronil and I have no yellow jackets for the first time ever. I usually loose at least three hives every year to yellow jackets so you can bet I've tried every kind of trap out there.

Where do you buy the fipronil?

Amazon, it's the active ingredient in front line tick and flea med. for dogs. I bought the generic brand for $16.
