When To Apply
How Does The Original Waspinator® Work?
The Original Waspinator® works by exploiting the territorial nature of wasps. The product is designed to mimic the shape and pattern of a wasp nest. When wasps see this "fake" nest, they assume that the area is already inhabited by another colony. Since wasps are highly territorial and typically avoid areas with existing colonies, they are deterred from building a new nest in the vicinity of the Waspinator. This makes it an effective, non-toxic solution for keeping wasps away from your outdoor spaces.
How Do You Effectively Use This Product?
- Placement: Find a visible, open outdoor area where wasps frequently visit. Hang or place the Waspinator in this area.
- Setup: No assembly is required for the product. Simply place it as it is. Make sure it's secure and won't be easily knocked over by wind or animals.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the Waspinator to ensure it's still in place and visible. If you notice wasps starting to build a nest nearby, move the Waspinator closer to this new location.
When Should I Use The Original Waspinator®?
The Original Waspinator® is typically used during the warmer months when wasps are most active, which is generally from spring through fall.
Where Should I Use The Original Waspinator®?

- Gardens and Yards: If you're spending time gardening or your children are playing in the yard, hang a Waspinator nearby to deter wasps.
- Picnic Areas: Whether you're at home or in a public park, hanging a Waspinator near your picnic area can help prevent wasps from interrupting your meal.

Frequently Asked Questions
Under What Circumstances Should You Use The Original Waspinator®?
The Original Waspinator®, a bag that mimics a wasp nest, should be used under the following circumstances:
- Wasp Activity: If you notice wasps frequently visiting your property or have found a wasp nest nearby, using a Waspinator can help deter them from establishing new nests in your area.
- Outdoor Gatherings: Planning to spend time outdoors, like having a picnic, barbecue, or garden party? Hanging up a Waspinator can help keep wasps away from your gathering.

- Sensitive Individuals: If someone in your household is allergic to wasp stings, using a Waspinator can be an important part of reducing the risk of wasp encounters.
Why Is The Original Waspinator® Effective?
The Original Waspinator®, a bag that mimics a wasp nest, is effective due to the territorial nature of wasps. Here's why:
- Mimics a Wasp Nest: The Waspinator resembles a large, threatening wasp nest. When wasps see this "nest," they assume the area is already occupied by another colony.
- Territorial Behaviour: Wasps are extremely territorial and avoid building their nests near existing ones to prevent conflicts. Seeing the Waspinator, they're likely to steer clear of the area.
- Safe and Chemical-Free: The Waspinator doesn't use any harmful chemicals or traps. It's a purely visual deterrent, making it safe for use around children, pets, and food.
- Easy to Use: The Waspinator is easy to install. Simply hang it in a visible location where wasps frequent.
What Precautions Should I Take When Using This Product?
The Original Waspinator® is a safe and non-toxic product that doesn't use any chemicals or traps. However, there are still a few precautions you should take when using it:
- Placement: Ensure the Waspinator is hung in a place where it's clearly visible to wasps but out of reach of children and pets who might want to play with it.
- Allergies: If someone in your household is allergic to wasp stings, continue to exercise caution even with the Waspinator in place. While it can deter wasps, it may not be 100% effective against all species or individual insects.
- Maintenance: Check the condition of your Waspinator regularly. If it becomes weather-damaged or loses its shape, it may lose its effectiveness and need to be replaced.
How Do You Clean Up After Getting Rid of Wasps?
After successfully deterring wasps using the Waspinator, there may not be much cleanup involved as the product doesn't kill wasps or leave behind any residue. However, if you had an existing wasp nest that has been removed or abandoned, here are some steps for cleaning up:
- Safety First: Always wear protective clothing when dealing with wasp nests, even abandoned ones. This includes gloves, long sleeves, and eye protection.
- Remove the Nest: If a professional hasn't already done so, carefully remove the abandoned wasp nest. Place it in a sealed bag before disposing of it in an outdoor trash can.
- Clean the Area: Clean the area where the nest was located with warm soapy water to remove any remaining pheromones that could attract other wasps.
- Monitor the Area: Keep an eye on the area for a while to ensure no new wasps are attempting to build a nest. If you see wasp activity, consider re-hanging the Waspinator.
