Wasp Out™ Fake Hornet's Nest Decoy Wasp Deterrent Outdoor Hanging Waterproof Material

We’ve just had the annual invasion of the carpenter bees. We can’t even sit out on our porches! I have cedar posts that hold up the roof on the back porch. And I have Western Red Cedar Board and Batten siding all the way across the front of my house and posts and railing out of cedar. Obviously this is a favorite variety of wood that carpenter bees LOVE!!!! We’ve tried everything over the years but they continue to chew up the cedar wood on my house. I had been reading articles about these fake hornets nests keeping these bees away. A brown paper bag or anything made of paper would not last very long outside so I sat out on a quest to find these fake hornets nest that could withstand the elements of being outside. That’s when I ran across this item. I watched his videos and he reminds me of my dad. He is very passionate about HIS family business. He takes pride in his product. It’s not a giant corporate business that really doesn’t care to have a personal connection with their customers. However, this man personally encourages his customers to contact him if they have any problems or questions. How refreshing?I receive 3 of my fake hornets nests and put them up this afternoon. Two on the front porch because there is so much cedar and one on the back porch because it’s just 6x6 posts back there.The minute I hung the nests up it grabbed the attention of the bees. I just sat back and watched how the bees reacted for about an hour. It was the craziest thing I’ve seen. Before hanging the nests the bees just flew Willie Nilley all over the place, zooming past your head, all over the place. After hanging the nests they stopped flying in such crazy patterns. They would all, one at a time, multiple ones at a time, it didn’t matter, but they would hover close to the nest studying so intently on the nest. They would move up and down and around the nest checking it out. Then all of a sudden they would zoom off away from the nest. I couldn’t believe the instant interest it created with these bees. I’ll keep updating to see how they reacted over the next week to see if the fake nest actually runs the bees off. But today was very interesting to watch how they immediately reacted to the fake nests. It was really quite comical!!!! I certainly hope it does the trick and I don’t have to spend money on expensive chemicals that you have to keep battling them without much success. This is a chemical free natural solution to a horrible problem. I’ll let y’all know how it works out!!!!!UPDATE:): The strong winds we had yesterday took away 2 out of my 3 that I had JUST got and hung up on cup hooks. The one that didn’t get blown away was on an eye hook. Ordered 2 replacement nests and some eye hooks today. This time I will tie them to the eye hooks. With the winds we had yesterday those 2 nests are probably over in the next county. It’s still very windy outside today but nothing like it was yesterday. We are waiting for round #5 of the weekly weekend tornado watches!!! I’m really getting tired of these storms and staying up all night, packed and ready with my two little Yorkies, to head to the storm shelter!!!Word of advice for everyone…make sure you secure the nest so it won’t blow away. I suggest using eye hooks.

I have had these up for two years now. They look so realistic that people coming to the porch step back at first. We had a huge problem with yellow jackets making nests in the crevices of our roofline in the back so I hung one of these on the light (w a zip tie) just below the area where they like to go. After years of powders and spraying they would come back. Since I hung these we can sit on our porch without being bothered. It's not a gimmick or a trick like the other review said..these really work. I'm ordering my second set for our cottage up north.

I was skeptical but I gave it a try. It works wonders!! After spraying the pesky wasps on my balcony I finally hung this thing up and I haven’t had any wasps in a few weeks!

This might be to early to claim if this product is effective however there is less hornets and wasps. This product might be more situational to certain properties. However the product itself is good for its design. The material is strong and pretty easy to figure out. To smooth it out use warm water and it should be fine.

They actually work!! Thought it was crazy but since hanging these the wasps no longer build nests on our house. I put up 3 on the west, south, and east sides. After 3 years they are still in great shape (moved inside over winter).

I get it. When you have wasps, you’ll try just about anything to get rid of them. This thing is just exploiting that. I’ve had it for about 4 months now and wasps started using it to build their own super nest. Dumb. My own fault. Just don’t make the same mistake I did.

Good size. Holds up outside in all the weather so far. Haven’t seen any wasps or hornets or any of them since hanging it up!

These are great. Better than the paper ones I’ve tried. Amazing difference—really keeps wasps away. Appear to be durable as well.
