RE: Getting Rid of Wasps & Hornets Without Chemicals.
Interesting post. My question is:
Why do they scare wasps away?
I've been using a light trap that lures them in with the nice shiny lights and then zaps them to oblivion. It's somewhat effective but uses no chemicals.
"The Waspinator is a fake wasps nest. Wasps are very territorial and will aggressively defend their nest against wasps from another colony. When a foraging wasp sees another wasps nest it will rapidly leave the area for fear of being attacked by the nest’s defenders. Wasps have a very long range of vision and when they see a Waspinator they think it’s an enemy wasps nest and quickly leave the area for somewhere safer, leaving the area around the Waspinator completely free of wasps. Waspinator is a wasp repellent it does not harm, trap or kill wasps, it will simply get rid of wasps."

"A scarecrow but for wasps"
Pretty much yeah.
