Wasp Problem

We have a wasp problem and they are scarry when they fly around our pool when little people are swimming. So, this is what I am trying to do to get rid of them. So far, not working!

Glass Wasp Trap
This sturdy, colored glass trap will take a bite out of your wasp problem. Simply add the included lure, a bit of water, and replace the stopper. Hang or place in an area with high wasp concentrations. Wasps fly up through the bottom hole, become trapped, and drown in the water. After two weeks replace the lure, or just add sweet liquid (lemonade works).


The Original Waspinator
The Waspinator repels wasps, it does not harm or kill them. It works on a very simple principle: wasps avoid the nests of other wasps. By giving the appearance of a real wasp nest, any nearby wasps will keep their distance, commonly about 20' or further. No chemicals, folds flat to bring on picnics, weatherproof, environmentally safe. Think of the Waspinator as a "scarecrow for wasps".

Mom,

You got tricked. The Waspinator is made to look like a aerial yellow jacket nest or a bald face hornets nest. Neither of which live in the desert area. Up in Show Low those might work but in Chandler you are dealing with paper wasps. The paper wasps have the nests that hang down and look like an umbrella that has been opened up to far. Since the paper wasps are not dealing with yellow jackets or hornets they have no reason to fear the Waspinator. They have no idea what it is. :(

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. You just need to get a can of EcoSmart Wasp Spray http://www.ecosmart.com/products/wasp-hornet-killer/
Then Dad needs to go hunting in the yard and find all the Paper Wasp nest and spray them.

Have fun Dad!!! :-) Don't forget your shed. They love that spot.

Cody - I guess I should have contacted the Certified Entomologist before I spent my money for something that won't work! Your dad says perhaps when you are here you can go hunting for the wasp nets. Actually we have looked and can not find any.
