Ven-TrapOutward Creations Wasp Nest Decoy - 4 Pack - Hanging Wasp Repellent and Deterrent- Safe Fake Trap

As an entomologist I have installed these on porches and in sheds and they are not only very effective, but also beautiful. I was sorry to see people’s complaints about paper lanterns not standing up to rain or wind—why would you expect otherwise? You need to place them in sheltered conditions and they don’t last forever. Once I hung a hummingbird feeder below (from the base) and that actually attracted wasps who noticed it was an empty nest—so don’t hang anything sweet below yours! At our community garden, I knocked down wasps nests every other week from inside a new shed until I put one of these up. No wasps for 6 years in a row!! These are not foolproof but the way they work is as follows. When placed in a sheltered spot in early spring as social wasp queens emerge and look for a nest site, they see the nest and think, “gee, there’s not going to be enough food for me and my family here since this other family is here…” Painting your porch ceiling sky blue is also effective. Friends with a wrap-around porch had all sky blue ceilings except one small section that had remained brownish green. They never had any wasps starting nests in the blue, but often in the other area until they painted that, as well.

Works great for keeping the wasp away! My backyard was infested with them before I put these up!

works like a charm

These are good, fairly realistic appearing decoy wasp nests.First, they are made of PAPER! Don't put them where they'll get wet. Paper does not hold up well in wet conditions. This is not a flaw or defect. Use some common sense, please.Wasps absolutely love my covered front porch. Through the years they have treated it as their very own live in amusement park.Not this year! Instead of spraying and killing them and their nests which I hate to do, I bought a set of 4 of these decoy nests. I have seen a few fly through but only one nest was started.Last year we also had an invasion of carpenter bees. They started showing up again this spring and began their "work" boring into my posts and beams. After hanging these decoy nests they have not subsided as much as the wasps but their presence is now minimal and manageable.I was skeptical at best when I ordered the decoy nests. I have been pleasantly surprised at their effectiveness.A good product at a good price. I recommend if you have a wasp or bee problem.

They work- just took a ton of time to arrive
