Fake Wasp's Nests

A friend of mine, Jill, wrote about her and her husband's new fake wasp nests (this is a picture she took). They seem to get rid of wasps in the yard, taking 3-4 days to really work. They were having a lot of trouble with the wasps making several nests around their home. The wasps would swarm and were always hovering when anyone was working in the yard. There were the occasional stings, which would put a damper on enjoying the outdoors.

These fake nests work on the principle of competition. "If they see a wasp nest in yard they will go elsewhere to make a nest." After putting up four fake wasp nests, two in the front yard and two in the back yard, they are now wasp-free.

As Jill said:
---No chemicals
---Environmentally safe
---No maintenance
---No dead wasps

Just the way we like it!

She said that fake wasp nests can be found at home improvement stores, such as Lowe's. Her's are called "Bee Free Natural Wasp Deterrent," and come in packages of two for $8.99---a small price to pay for safety in the yard!
