Keep Wasps Out!

Hornet's Nest Wasp Deterrent

The Wasp Out® Hornet’s Nest is a realistic, weather‑resistant fake hornet’s nest designed to naturally deter wasps and similar stinging insects from patios, decks, gardens, and other outdoor spaces. By mimicking a real hornet’s nest—an area most wasps avoid—it creates a long‑lasting visual deterrent without sprays or chemicals, helping keep your outdoor areas more comfortable and wasp‑free.

How It Works

Most wasps are very territorial and respect the hornet as the king of the wasps because they will prey on other insects including wasps. When a scout wasp searches for a place to make a colony, they usually avoid building their nest in the near vicinity of an existing hornet's nest. Therefore, the fake hornet's nest acts as a natural, visual deterrent, leaving you with a WASP FREE zone.

Wasp Out® Frequently Asked Questions

The best time to install a fake wasp nest is early spring, before wasps begin building nests. This prevents colonies from forming in the first place.

Hang the Wasp Out® in areas where wasps commonly build nests, such as patios, porches, eaves, awnings, sheds, and roof overhangs. Make sure it is clearly visible, as wasps must see the nest to be deterred.

Yes, using a fake wasp nest is a humane and eco-friendly way to deter wasps without harming them or using harmful chemicals.

Yes, always remove old wasp nests before installing the Wasp Out®. If new nests start forming, knock them down quickly to reinforce the deterrent effect.

Yes, fake wasp nests can be effective at preventing new wasp activity. They work best as a preventative solution before nests are established. For best results, install early in the season and combine with removing any new nests that appear.

If your Wasp Out® fake wasp nest isn’t holding air, that’s completely normal. This hornet and wasp deterrent is not designed to stay inflated like a balloon. Instead, it’s made from durable foam that expands and holds its shape after inflation. You may need to inflate it a few times before it fully forms and maintains its structure.

Creases in your fake hornet nest won’t affect its ability to keep wasps away. However, for a smoother look, soak the Wasp Out® in warm water for 5–10 minutes, then reinflate it. You can also deflate it completely and roll it tightly from the base, repeating in different directions to help reduce wrinkles.

Wasps can adapt if the environment stays the same. To maintain effectiveness, occasionally reposition the nest to keep the threat appearing realistic.

Fake wasp nests like the Wasp Out® are designed to deter territorial insects such as wasps and hornets. They are not specifically made for carpenter bees or mud daubers. While some customers report success, this product is not guaranteed to work for those species.

A fake wasp nest works by taking advantage of wasps’ territorial behavior. Wasps and hornets will avoid areas where they believe another colony already exists. The Wasp Out® mimics a real nest, signaling danger and preventing new nests from forming.

The Wasp Out® is made from durable, weather-resistant foam designed for long-term outdoor use. Depending on weather exposure, many customers use the same fake wasp nest for multiple seasons or even several years.

I placed this on my front porch where wasp were bad to build nest in every nook and cranny. No nest were made with this hanging. Wasp would fly in, investigate, but leave.

They actually work!! Thought it was crazy but since hanging these the wasps no longer build nests on our house. I put up 3 on the west, south, and east sides. After 3 years they are still in great shape (moved inside over winter).

Great product!!!! I've used another product like this for years, but it was made out of paper and wasn't weatherproof. This one works just as well, but it won't dissolve in the rain. Bought two, one for front yard and one for back.

We had a bunch of wasps visiting our deck everyday starting the middle of April. After we got the Fake Out Hornets Nest, we may have seen one that didn't stick around. I wish we got this YEARS ago!! Works like a charm!!
