We have a plum tree in the back garden and we love it, bit so do the wasps :disappointed: Saw the decoy wasp nests on Amazon that supposedly keep the wasps away. It has great reviews. Hopefully this works and I won't have to get rid of the tree.

A brown paper bag is also a cheap alternative - hung one up in my loft and been wasp free ever since! :sunglasses:

I'm going to take my lampshade to the pub on Saturday afternoon and stand near the bin. I might even paint a face on mine lol

If you don't mind me asking where did you get your waspinator? Just wondering as I mentioned above both of mine disintegrated within days of purchase and a few others I know had the same problem.

Neither.. though would rather be stung by a bee than a wasp as I am allergic to wasp stings!

We bought the Waspinator and it works instantly. Fill it with old newspaper or a balloon and put it where you are sitting and no wasps come anywhere near.

As soon as they smell burgers and beer the wasps are out!

Who knew wasps and chavs were so similar.
To anyone thinking of buying these, you probably have one of those awful student-style lamp shades made of paper somewhere in the house already. Try the loft - being careful not to confuse with a wasp's nest.

I have the same problem with a plum tree in out garden
Pick the plums , just before they fully ripen and they will continue to ripen :wink:
They only want to go mental for them once the sugars have fully developed and then they get absolutely wasted on them

None. I once got stang off a wasp so anything with a sting now gets swatted with a rolled up paper

Hope it works out for both of us. They are only paper though. Reviews say don't touch them and let them dry naturally. Some even sprayed them with laquer and stuffed plastic bags inside to keep them buffed out.

:smile: Thanks for this .. I just bought them so will see how well they deter the little ******* Cheaper than the 2 Waspinators I bought in Homebase last year at £5 each.. one disintegrated within days (it looked a bit strange so lifted it down to see what was wrong and was left covered in dust!) and the other one didn't make any difference and ended up reverting to the faithful sugar and vinegar trap!

They will probably build a nest in it. :disappointed:

I think the idea is they see the nests and assume the territory is taken. You are supposed to space them out as well. The advice is put them out in spring before you see any wasps but some reviewers said they put them out June/July and the wasps disappeared immediately.

Cheaper than fleabay. Worth a try. Ordered and heated. Thanks, OP.
