Oh my, Aloha - 20 nests?! I've wondered if we might get them in our attic, too, as late last summer a piece of our vinyl siding fell off of the roof edge. We haven't put it back on yet as it's all the way to the top and we'll need a really tall ladder to get up there. We may have to hire someone for that job - neither one of us wants to, or should be, on a ladder that tall! I know what you mean, Skybird, about seeing old nests around and yet still see the wasps. Maybe they were their old nests?! I don't know. And I also thought that one fake nest looked like a chinese lantern - it's the same kind of fabric and wire frame. Also, you can't see it in the pic, but it has a hole in the side so it looks like a nest of sorts. But I kinda of wonder if the wasps would just go inside of it and make a nest of their own there! I know they did that in the bird houses I put up along our fence for decoration - I had to plug up the holes so they wouldn't do that any more. So I couldn't resist making my own version of the fake wasp nest, just to see if the concept would work. I recycled/upcycled items I had around the house already to make it - took two 5" peat pots and placed them together at the large end, then slipped a plastic mesh wrap (that they put over the glass bottle of wine I bought at Total Beverage) over them to hold them together, then glued the seam. I spray painted it black, but didn't like the looks of it. So I covered it all with paper mache, I then spray painted it black with a little gray. Now, it's not any prettier than the waspinator, and maybe even a bit uglier, but didn't really cost me anything to make! Maybe this is close enough in shape to fool the foolish wasps - we'll see! If it does, I'll make some more!! Here's my recycled/upcycled wasp nest decoy:

Both my husband & I do landscaping. Your mistake first started in the spring when they removed your lillies from your garden. I hope you called & complained about that but it sounds like you did not. No matter how much you like the man he is not doing the work himself but it is his responsibility to hire people who know their job. I can understand the plastic duck because when you are blowing leaves it is hard to not hit & remove plastic items but the stone is something else. I would hope you call so he can make good on that item, if not you need to find someone new.

What ever you do, don't put in duck decoys LOL!!! Unless, of course, you want more ducks. Which I assume you don't. quote" Stupid duck! "quote Not really, he knows he's found a safe water zone and will continue to come back until he feels its unsafe I'd try the owl statue, the alligator float, or IMO get you a super soaker water pistol and blast him with a bead of water every time you see him in the pool. A few days of being doused will be enough to get him to land in neighbors pools instead of yours. See ya, Kelly

I suppose the following ideas are out of the question: 1. Reading the instructions 2. Identifying the manufacturer/model of the unit 3. Posting this in an appropriate forum
