  • Simple thing I found that works to keep stingy critters at bay.
    Stuff a small brown paper bag with some wadded up newspaper. or those ads you get in the mail.
    Make it round looking by tucking in the bottom corners, twisting the top closed, and tie it off.
    Fasten it under the eves of your home. I used a drywall screw to fasten mine but a staple gun would work too.
    Beauty is as beauty does, so to me it's beautiful because it works beautifully.

      You're welcome! This is the first year in 7 years that I've had a wasp nest, but that's to be expected because it's starting to look like a worn out bag instead of a hornet nest.

    Hi all, just to explain how to use this setup, you MUST FIRST eradicate any existing wasps or wait until winter, clear any nests out, then put this up. This is going on the 6th year of these hanging under our front and back eaves and no wasps or bees nesting on or near our house. They still frequent our flowers but no nests. I was thinking of replacing them this coming fall because they are starting to degrade. The next ones will get a generous coat of clear matt paint to protect them from the elements.
    If you have done this and found it working for you, please comment. All the best!

    Tried it! I had a red wasp infestation. So I built several of these and put one one my front porch, two on my back porch, one under my gable on the North side of my house, and one under the eaves on the East side of my house. My neighbors thought they were real wasp nests, so I know I did them correctly.
    Over the next two weeks I got stung on my back several times, one smacked me in the face and stung me multiple times, my husband got stung, and my children got stung! So, after the two weeks, I called an exterminator, because those red wasps weren't budging, even after I sprayed them all with foam insecticide THREE TIMES.The exterminator sprayed, and within two days they were all gone. I have that guy on a quarterly spray contract now at $90/quarter - so worth it!

      Before these will work effectively, you have to rid the current nests, or put them up and wait til next year. As long as you make it look like a hornet's nest, I recently painted mine a light gray, you should be fine. The more effort you put in to making it round and not look like a McD bag haing up, the better it should work.

    I just bought a new townhouse and have come to realize it is one big wasp nest -- I can hear them drilling in the walls and they are behind the louver shudders and up in the soffits AND in the rolled up garde hose and have had Carpenter bees eating my deck, Bald-faced hornets as well. Will this method scare them away or just prevent them from coming back next year ????. The eaves are 3 stories up and I have no way of hanging a decoy up there unless I use an extension ladder and wire and I risk getting attacked.

      Hi Donna, Just make sure to fold in the corners of the bag and try to round it off as much as possible to make it look as much like a hornet's nest as possible.

      Hi Donna. I know this is an old post, but wanted to throw my three cents into the pot (hey, I'm a big spender... hehehe!) One thing you might need to be concerned with is Anaphylactic shock. In mild cases they symptoms are similar to what you suffer from. But it's possible over time (even without more stings) to develop this issue - and it can be VERY serious (as in "call 9-1-1 and hope EMS gets here in time" serious). The great news is you can ask your dr. for an Rx for an "Epi-Pen" and it's something that fits in a purse or pocket. If you get stung, and have ANY difficulty breathing CALL 9-1-1 immediately! If you have an Epi-Pen, use it. If you don't have one, pray. Not trying to be sarcastic at all, but people die every year from this issue. Talk to your doctor, explain your history and concerns and ask for a prescription. When my son was 4 he got stung on his ear - swelled up the size of a baseball. Scared us - a lot! Talked to the doc, checked our family history and he now carries an Epi-Pen everywhere. Thank God he's never needed it. And you may not need one either - but DON'T rely on some doof (me) giving you medical advice (I'm not - just making suggestions).
      Please ask your doctor about it. It may not be the answer, but you gotta ask the questions before you get answers! Good luck, hope your kids are growing strong and healthy (oh, and YOU too!).

    I learned of this trick from the Amish but we hang it in the opposite direction like how a balloon hangs from a string but I guess either way works we also spray a light coating of acrylic spray from Wal-Mart for weather proofing. It does like he says keep hornets, wasp, yellow jackets, bald face hornets from making nest .we live in southern Missouri by the Missouri/Arkansas state line and during warm months theses type of little SOB's make nest every where but last year no problem due to these fake nests! we put one on the back side of the house and in the front of the house no problems! we don't even find nest in the yard! you can also make others if you have sheds or garages etc in the yard incase they don't see the ones hanging from the house. you fill the bag full Wal-Mart bags or other types of water resistant filler product to fill and puff up the bag. Any size but preferably a larger brown paper bag from store . use brown only or can spray bag gray to mimic nest better but brown works. seal up open end of bag so bugs cant make a nest inside.

So far it has lasted in all the wet weather we have here in Washington state, but to make it last linger?? Why not!? One mistake I've seen with many who try to do this is they don't try to shape their bag to resemble a true nest. I believe that made all the difference for me. We had hornets nesting somewhere on our property EVERY year and wasps under various portions of our eves as well until I did this. Now? Nothing.

      Dora, the decoy hornet nests will deter not just other hornets but other flying stingy insects from building nests near them. They are territorial and will not allow others to nest near them. These phony nests make others believe that area is already occupied. However, if you have flowers, all will frequent like bees and stuff but will not nest near there. If you already have bees, wasps, or hornets nesting nearby, you have to get them eradicated first. There are people that will come out and collect bees for free here in WA to populate their own hives. Some will come out and dispatch other nests too. Check in your area.

      It's not the paper bag, but shaping it to resemble a hornets nest. Hornets are very territorial and will not allow others to nest near by. Other flying stingy insects know this and keep away from hornets nest (or hornets nest decoys).
      I would advise you to search for someone that captures bees, some will come out, find and capture other such critters and remove them. This must be done before the decoys will work. Once cleared of hornets, wasps, or other such critters, the decoys will keep them away.
      We are on our 3rd year with nothing but our decoys in front and back. The bees and others still frequent flowers around the yard, but none nest anywhere near by.

    Best time to kill wasps is at night. They return to their nest at night and sleep. If you remove nest during the day, the ones that were away from the nest will return looking for it and start building another

      Hi Becca Boo, personally I swat them with something and move to an area they can't get to me. Yes, wasps provide food for some animals but as you mentioned, bees are VERY important for pollination among other things. That said, even if I had a nest of bees around my house, I would eradicate it. They will move on to more suitable areas. These decoy hornets nests are to keep other flying stingy insects from nesting on or near your home or where ever you put them. I watch the bees, wasps, and hornets frequenting my wife's herb garden and flowers but none of them nest near our home due to the phony hornets nests I've put up under the eves of the front and back of our home.
      Step 1: Find their nest and remove it. This usually means to kill the wasps, but if you know a bee person or are brave enough, there are ways to remove the nest without killing them. I tend to wait until nightfall so they aren't swarming.
      Step 2: Make and install a phony hornets nest (they now sell them online).
      We've gone through Summer 2016, 2017, 2018, and 2019 with no nests on or near our home all from a couple of brown paper bags stuffed with wadded up news paper, corners tucked in and rounded, the top opening twisted closed, and fastened under the eves, on in front and one at the rear, with screws.

However, these same bags shaped like hornets nests and hung under the front and rear eves has kept ALL flying stingy insects away for going on 3 years now.

I may need to replace the one in the front because it's starting to degrade from blowing rain and stuff. Next one will get sprayed with some sort of sealer to protect it from the elements a little better.

At about this time of year when I use the hose, out flys a squadron of wasp all pissed off. Who wants to open that hiding place and spray them? If this paper bag decoy stops them from nesting in my hose caddy, it will be well worth it. Well worth the 10 seconds it takes to make the decoy and another 10 seconds it takes to install it.

    Why can't bees just go extinct?

      Ha ha! We really need them for most plants to pollinate. I just don't want them living in, on, or near my house.

      Why can't wasps, and carpenter bees be extinct is more like it.
      But we need all of the honey bees we can get because they do most of the pollinating, also, bumblebees are very good pollinators as well, you need pollination for stuff to grow, and if stuff doesn't grow you wouldn't either because you'd be dead.
      Just imagine, 90 percent of the animals on the bottom of the food chain is herbivores, if plants didn't grow, they wouldn't have any food, so without food they die out, this also affect the other animals that are a little high on the food chain, because since their food was taken away they now have nothing the eat because they are mostly much less powerful than the other thing above it on the food chain, so without food they die, keeps going on and on and on, so you get the point, it would be very bad.
      Don't get me wrong, bees aren't they only thing that pollinate, even wind pollinates, but not nearly as much as all of the bees do, they take care of about +90% of the pollination combined, other things pollinate including 4% wind, 2% some birds like humming birds, and of coarse 4%butterflies, but they only take about.

      If they did we’d all die
