How Hanging a Single Plastic Bag in Your Garden Keeps Wasps Away Permanently
With the arrival of the warmer months, the biggest nightmare of gardens, balconies, and garages - the wild bees - have made their comeback. If you're seeking ways to get rid of these wild bees, which can become extremely aggressive towards humans when looking for shelter and become impossible to remove once they've established a nest, you don't need to pour a fortune into pest control companies. You can keep these wild bees completely away from your property with two simple, virtually cost-free items you can find in your home: a plastic bag and a bit of string.
Renowned gardening expert on social media, @gardening.with.ish, has unveiled the secret of this ingenious method that you can implement at home, causing no harm to nature or bees.
The expert, who explains how to transform your garden into a 'no-go zone' with just a single plastic bag, also laid bare the scientific rationale behind this method.
Wild bees are among the most territorial and jealous creatures in nature. These creatures, which attack fearlessly to protect their own territories, never approach areas where another wild bee colony exists. The fundamental principle of this practical method is based on deceiving this territorial psychology of the bees.
Garden expert Ish summarizes the application of the method with these simple steps:
Trap Them All Inside: Take an ordinary plastic bag and fold it inwards from one corner.
Give It a Cone Shape: When you fold the bag inward, the trapped air will cause the bag to inflate and take the shape of a cone or a pointed wild bee hive.
Tie With a String and Hang: Without distorting this cone shape, tightly tie the mouth of the bag with a string. Voila, your fake wild bee hive is ready.
All you need to do is hang this mock bag nest you've crafted in a tree in your garden, near your shed, on your balcony, or on the ceiling of your garage.
Wild bees that move into the area will assume that a strong and rival colony has already settled there when they see the plastic bag.
Expert Ish asserts, 'They won't approach that area, in fact, they will keep their distance entirely. They will decide to relocate,' emphasizing the definitive results of this method. The most ideal time to try this method is during the spring and early summer months when the queen and large wild bees emerge to search for a nesting site.
The beauty of this method is that it does not kill the bees and does no harm to the natural cycle.
Wild bees will establish their nests at a point much farther away from your garden where the decoy bag nest is located. However, they will continue to visit your garden to pollinate your plants and search for food.
Here lies the greatest advantage: they will believe that they are not at home while in your garden, thinking that a rival swarm of bees resides nearby. As they won't enter into a defensive mindset for the territory, they will be far less aggressive towards you and your family. Keeping bees at bay and enjoying your garden uninterrupted is as easy as using a regular bag at home.
