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.
Good for ecology
The Natural History Museum recently said: “If it wasn't for wasps we would be overrun with spiders and insects – we should call them the ‘gardener’s friend.’ Wasps kill more that 14 million kgs of caterpillars and greenfly every year just in the UK, they also pollinate plants and flowers. With the increasing threat to bee populations, the role that wasps play in the ecosystem is becoming ever more essential.”

“Waspinator is an effective wasp deterrent…
Helen Yemm reviews the Waspinator, and finds it a very effective deterrent: …having made an appeal to readers for more information as to its effectiveness, the Waspinator (with a couple of somewhat churlish exceptions) received a universal thumbs up from you all.
