How does the Waspinator work?
The Waspinator mimics an enemy nest. Wasps are very territorial and will aggressively defend their nest. When a foraging wasp sees an enemy nest they will rapidly leave the area for fear of being attacked. Wasps have a vision range of over 6 metres, but at that range they only see shape and colour not detail. So, when they see a Waspinator, they think it’s an enemy nest and leave the area for somewhere safer.
