HOW IT WORKS

• Waspinator is like a scarecrow for wasps : they see it, are frightened by it, and fly away from it.
• They think it’s an enemy nest and that they will be attacked if they get too close, so they go somewhere else where they don’t feel threatened.
• Leave it out all season and they will stay away - they think the garden is another colony’s territory.

WHY IT WORKS

• Wasps are very territorial, if a wasp goes too near another colony’s nest, the nest’s defenders will attack it and chase it away.
• Consequently wasps instinctively know to stay well away from nests that aren’t their own
• Leave it out all season and they will stay away—they think the garden is another colony’s territory.
• Waspinator is designed to look like an enemy nest : the colour, shape and size mimic a wasps nest.
• The horizontal striations make it look fibrous and layered to the wasp, just like a real nest
