DECYOOL 4 Pack Wasp Nest Decoy

These wasp decoys are great. We have had problems in the past with wasps on our balcony. We have hung these decoys out already for the year because wasps build their nests in very early spring here. They have been outside now for over a month and show no wear and tear due to the weather. I think they will last the wasp season, and if they don't they are reasonably priced enough that we can replace them during the season if needed.

This looks exactly like a wasp nest. No matter the type of wasp you have living on your property, they are territorial and will not build if they see another nest. This one is hive-like. Those parasitic wasps (gross) will build nests like these and live in their hive and wait to attack you and get all their family to come and sting you, too. Wasp stings hurt like the dickens and can also be dangerous if you have an allergy to their venom they inject when they sting. Did you know they can sting you over and over? Not like a bee that will take one for its hive and sting one and done. Wasps are a different type of stingy thing and very aggressive and they have a ton of friends. My husband got a huge reminder, and painful, too, through a leather work glove. That is how deep they can sting. Then they call their friends and it's a party for them when all he wants to do is trim the bushes so we look like we live here. Mud daubbers or paper wasps are more solitary. But they still sting and will still come at you if they have their papery (impressive in geometric terms) nest on the side of your home, playing the worst game of hide and seek in the bushes where they have an obvious advantage due to size (wasps never play by the rules) or under the garage windows 🪟 or anywhere they think is acceptable to build and proceed to harass you for daring to walk past *their* territory. I've done sprays. I've done traps. Those do not work or if they happen to catch one, there are friends and family still hiving it up. Did you know they remember faces? Don't believe me? Google it. Forget elephants. Wasps are like that person who is aggressive in a non passive way and remembers every.thing. even if it happened last summer and they will punish you by stinging. And then call their friends. Sprays are temporary and a good idea if they are coming for you but it's only a temporary solution. And if their friends know through the chemical "pheromone" they send out the wasps can smell from at least a mile away and lasts for weeks. Caught one? Wasp's friends will know. And they will stalk you out. And they remember faces. And they will sting you for what you did to their friend. Even if friend is merely frightened by you or your dog or your neighbor banging on the drums all day, they will take it out on you. Total projection and low-key narcissism but hey, I'm no wasp therapist. I just study their behavior. And know things. This is a LONG TERM, FOREVER, INCREDIBLE, ACTUALLY WORKS, solution that I was recommended to try by a woman who is a horticulurist (grows flowers for a living and is outside a lot and has probably been stung a lot because wasps are pollinators, too!). We don't want to hurt them. We just want them to move. Stop squatting at our place and go next door. Or that huge whatever tree or barn where your X rides horses. We don't want anyone or anything to get hurt we just want to enjoy *our* property. And let the pollinators flourish. And help our farmers out. The weather here changes on a dime and it's tornado alley. We get horrible storms and they have hail and pounding rain and yet there my fake nest stands, waving proudly in the wind like our beautiful flag, delivering its paper composition like the post office, in rain, and sunshine. Saying, "hello other wasps, I live here. Do not even think for one millisecond that you can build a nest of any kind. Mud? Don't care. I'll blow it down like the big, bad wolf. And survive through a tornado, because we just might be in Kansas, like Dorothy and Toto. The size of this product is exactly the same as a hive nest, so you know it's a perfectly replicated form of just tricking nature. Don't feel badly. Animals do it all the time. Biomimicry. And this is an excellent example. We got a bundle and they were so inexpensive, so worth every cent, and they are incredibly lightweight, just as a wasp nest is in real life. It is an invention that deserves an award. And I know it will bring piece of mind, whether you have an allergy or not. Take back your territory with this product. Enjoy sitting outside. Don't let the wasps crash your party or scare you from enjoying what you work hard to have. I never heard tell of wasps paying rent or taxes like we do! Take back your power, your property, the fight and flight of your sympathetic nervous system that causes cortisol and stress and that is good for no one, oh, and your precious skin! In an entirely ethical and animal friendly way! They can move to a tree. Or the side of your neighbor's house. Not your problem! This is a problem SOLVER. You don't need to thank me. Thank the wasps for pollinating and the farmers who allow us to eat. And always, always, thank the engineer who designed this product and the seller who is bringing it to us and Amazon for selling it and having the best review system ever!

Does what they are designed to do

I bought this product with a series of others out of desperation. I only had to use this product. I was seeing 2-4 wasps in my garage at a time, every time I was in there. A month into installing one decoy, I’ve only seen two and they didn’t stay very long

I think it’s working. No wasp nests but the carpenter bees are still trying to drill holes.
