I read at wasps.net that these work well to repel wasps/hornets. Anybody have any input?

I have never used them specifically for wasps/hornets, but I do know that the area is significantly less buggy - all types of bugs.

Yes it is. It's effective on anything that moves including hornets, wasps, scorpions, and any other insects that you can think of. It is well worth the money. Just be careful buying it from some of the third party sellers on Amazon. They try to charge twice the amount that Amazon charges. If Amazon is out of stock, buy it at The Home Depot for less than five dollars per can. I've seen some sellers on Amazon charge as much as $11.00 per can which is a total rip-off. I hope this helps.

Hi Jack, We've had great luck with these. Not only does it keep away the mosquitoes but it also keeps away the 'smaller and harder to see' bugs.

Yes, put it in an area that you don't want wasps to build a nest and they will go elsewhere. It won't keep them away from the entire yard, it will keep them away from the immediate area where it is hung. I hang mine on both porches and under the picnic umbrella. I work at a private school and recently put them in our Day Care Storage Sheds!! I have all types of wasps and it has worked. It is so simple just a piece of cloth that looks like a nest but trust me it works at my house!

Are the wasps around? I use the yellow jacket product they sell plus some dried beef lung, but haven't put mine out this year, no wasps yet.

I got it to repel insects and it does not seem to work well for that. Not sure about mice, tho.

I'm not sure about paper wasps, but the traps sure work great on NY State's garden variety wasps!

I just put these (mine are owls) up and so far they haven't worked keeping the blackbirds out of my trees. don't phase them a bit. I know I got them up late so will try again next year.

Yes, it works on wasps. My housemate has even caught them on the fly, but I'm not that talented. Would recommend waiting until they land on a flat surface.

I bought my devices to repel bats and have had great successes.The only thing I can think of for mice, is how the people set up the devices.Makes a difference with bats.Why don't you call or email the owner. He is great about responding.

All of those, wasps, bees, and flies, are generally a lot faster and more aware of their surroundings and danger. If you are lucky (and brave) enough to actually capture one of these, I believe the bristles are strong enough to hold the little critter. Catching them up against a window would be easiest since they "think" they can get away. What you do with them once caught would be the real question. If you want to release them outside then that's pretty simple. If you want to flush them, that may be more of a challenge. But if you are asking if the Catcher is strong enough, the answer is yes.

Don't know what red wasps are but with the right enticement, don't know why it wouldn't work. I'm sure it depends on where you live and which of these pests you have to deal with. Having been using them for a couple of years and I find they work wonderfully attracting yellow jackets (which is why I bought them), wasps, moths, flies, here in CT; using apple juice or orange juice with TBS of sugar and small pieces of raw meat. Talked my daughter into using them around her pool and she loves them. Highly recommend.

I originally got these for mice, but haven't noticed any spiders since I started using them. So they do help with spiders as well.

It likely will. In my experience, this works best as a weapon to kill the aggressive wasps as soon as they get near you. I would leave them alone if they would leave me alone, but since they are aggressive, this stuff literally knocks them out of the air and onto the ground in one shot!

Works great for birds, but I doubt it will work for wasps, try a cheese cloth type of fabric.

In my experience, the wasps were gone in about four days time after I hung the waspinator up and I did not see any evidence of them building nests nearby or anywhere else on my house- my house was 1300 sq. ft. with a large barn next door to it. I don't know what the radius distance is, but it did work for me. The wasps leave the territory area, but I'm not sure how big that really is.

I do not know. I simply use a wasp and hornet spray that can be activated from helpful a distance. wish I could have been more helpful.
