Anyone try one of these? Looks like it would be a cinch to make one also.

Nope, but I have heard they don't work in New Zealand. Has anyone had success?

If there is a hole in the bottom, I would not bee supprised if the wasps didn't build their nests in it.

I have heard that a bag of water with shining coins works well?

Sounds strange, but its something to do with the reflections it makes. I haven't tried it, but report back if it does?

I have a old barn that is a magnet for wasps......... The good thing about that is. I can kill the wasps instantly. I have killed probably a dozen nest along with a dozen queens.... Last winter I killed several queens one old rotten trees. I either put a boot on the fat heads or schooled them on gas and fire.....
