The wasp - an unpopular visitor
Everyonehashadanexperiencelikethis:it‘stheheightofsum-
mer,you‘resittingonthepatioorinthegardenandenjoyinga
cool,refreshingdrinkorameal.Thensuddenly,assoonasthe
drinksorfoodareonthetable,aswarmofwaspsarrives.
Afterthat,theoccasionisruinedbyyourconstanteffortstotry
anddrivetheunwantedvisitorsaway,avoidbeingstungyour-
selfandtryingnottogetawaspinyourmouthwhenyoueator
drinksomething.
Ifthingsgettoomuch,it‘sbettertoretreatindoorstoenjoythe
remainderofthefoodordrink.
Fight wasps - effectively!
Waspstingsareunpleasant,andinthethroatareatheycan
actuallybeextremelydangerous.Forpeoplewhoareallergicto
them,theycanevenhavefatalconsequences.
Sincethenumberofpeoplewhohaveallergieshasrisenin
recentyears,thematterofghtingwaspsneedstobetaken
seriously.
Waspsneedbothfoodcontainingsugarforthemselvesandfood
containingproteintonourishtheircolony.Soiftheworker
wasps,whoseroleitistolookafterthecolony,arekilled,the
nuisanceisdealtwithatthesource!
Wasptrapshaveproventhemselvestobeaneffectiveweapon.
However,notonlydothesetrapsspelldeathforwasps,butthey
alsodrownbeestoo.Thisisn‘twhatwewantatall!What‘s
more,mosttrapsaredesignedsothatthetrappedinsect
remainsaliveinthereforalongtime,dyingslowlyandpainfully.
Thisisn‘twhatwewanteither!

development,andrepresentsanimprovementinmanyrespects
comparedtomanyofthetrapsfoundonthemarket.
1. A high capture rate for wasps:thankstoits
specialshapeanddesign,VespaNocatchesanabove-ave-
ragenumberofwasps,iesandotherinsectsattractedby
sugar.
2. Complete protection for bees:developedbyabee-keeper
with30years‘experience,theprotectionofbeeswasthe
mostimportantaspectrightfromthestart.Onlysomeone
whohasstudiedbees‘behaviourindetailknowshowa
bee-friendlywasptrapshouldbebuilt.Not a single bee
was harmed in the development of the VespaNo!
