Why not use a scented candle or a wasp trap instead of Waspinator?

0

Candles aren’st that effective outdoors, and indoors you can smell their aroma yourself. Wasp traps are messy to use and clean €” you use either a poisonous bait which will kill wasps once they are inside, or an attractant bait which gets the wasps into the trap and then kills the wasps because they can’st get out. So first the wasp trap attracts them (which you may not think is a good idea), then it kills them. Any wasps which don’t get caught by the wasp trap will still be buzzing around, and will be highly agitated as they will have sensed the panic signal pheromones given off by the dying wasps. Then you have to clean the trap of dead and dying wasps, and of the residue of sticky or poisonous bait. Either way you have to watch wasps dying. Finally! Dying wasps give off a pheromone which acts like an attack signal for other wasps, and they will then come to see what the danger is, ie. more wasps to deal with, and ones that are already agitated. The Waspinator is a much better option
