I don't know exactly how they work, but I am happy that they do. :o) Hi Michelle

I agree with you on working WITH nature! I quite like bats. Building a bat house is definitely on our 'to do' list. :o) Hi Catie

It was hung about two feet from the door last week and had the french doors open for the last three days not one wasp in the house. husband said they are still at the back of the yard and the front so will need to finish up a couple more. had to put them on hold to finish a baby blanket Red Heart in camo came out cute. I think these fake nests WORK!!!!! and safe for the fur kids (I like that word) Thanks Norren Noreen, update on the wasp nest.
