3 Pack Wasp Nest Decoy - Eco Friendly Hanging Wasp Repellent

Product Information

Easy to set up and use: simply pull open Wasps Away and puff out the material using a balloon or similar for maximum effectiveness (not supplied), this will achieve the full effect, accurately mimicking a wasps nest and deterring them. However, if wasp makes its nest close to where you are working, then it may be necessary to spray them with an insecticide such as pyrethrum or permethrin which is safe for wildlife. A wasp deterrent in the form of an artificial wasp nest seems like a brilliant idea: after all, no pesticides are needed and it’s easy to use (just hang it up somewhere). The leather hooks make it easy to hang up in a shed, while the trowel has been marked in centimetres and inches to make planting easier than ever.

Wasps are beautiful animals but can definitely pose a threat especially to children and people who are allergic. Wasps are more active at night when they come out to drink water, making it easier for them to find their way back into their nest once you have removed it from their location. It is not possible for us to draw any conclusions about you, and any data collected as a result will never be passed on to third parties.

This is because the wasps’ metabolism is reduced, and they are more likely to crawl rather than fly. We have independent scientific field test results that Waspinator is a highly effective wasp repellent outdoors, and we have anecdotal evidence that it deters wasps nesting in houses and outbuildings as long as there is no real nest or hibernating Queen present. Most people try to avoid using insecticides because they can be toxic to wildlife including bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects.

There are around one million wasps per square mile in the UK and all the traps in the world won’t catch them all.For severe wasp problems, it is best to keep the Waspinator in situ and to use more than one, placed where you estimate the wasps’ line of sight will ensure they are seen and from as many directions as possible. Do not use heat such as hot compress or heat rubs because they will increase circulation which can cause more swelling.

Wasps are attracted to light, so if you're sitting outside after hours keep those lights turned off. Workers also may develop into fertile male wasps after they have successfully raised the eggs and supported the queen. In summer, you could try giving them a sacrificial sugary treat, such as a half-empty jar of jam, which should keep them occupied while you eat your food.Best thing to do if you’re worried about wasps, is to continually monitor the areas around your house so you can address any inklings before there is a real problem. Wasps have a painful and potentially dangerous sting, and their venom is different from that of bees. However, from August, when the queen stops laying eggs in the nest and the wasps have their supply of sugar turned off, they seek out alternatives.

Waspinator will get rid of wasps found in the UK and Northern Europe, and most of those found in Southern Europe. Since worker wasps are looking for food, it’s best to limit their food sources in the areas you hang out.

By the end of summer and into early autumn, the nest will be filled with a whole new generation of wasps. Having said all this, we have had lots of cases reported to us where Waspinator has worked even though there is a real wasp nest nearby – nature is a funny thing. I'm skeptical, but if a sensible bee person conducts a proper trial, I am willing to be convinced otherwise.
