can wasps get through this thing

From the manufacturer's pdf file: "...a molded screen to deter bird nesting, that will not become dislodged leaving openings for insects or pests"

slots are approximately 1/8". I have seen no evidence of wasps or bees getting through but spider webs near the skylight show that some mosquitoes manage to get in.

They haven't yet, and I've had the skylights for several years. The wasps have built nest under my eves, however!

I have two sheds with three of these Shedlights in them. I have not had any insects coming through them. The answer would be no. Good luck.

I haven't had anything make its way through the vents yet ! No bugs at all !

No! There is no openings for insect to get though. Only light can get through.

Nope. Just keep the window open when gone and enter with a stick in front. I have not had a problem with more than a wasp or two. Especially if you move it now and again.

In my experience, the wasps were gone in about four days time after I hung the waspinator up and I did not see any evidence of them building nests nearby or anywhere else on my house- my house was 1300 sq. ft. with a large barn next door to it. I don't know what the radius distance is, but it did work for me. The wasps leave the territory area, but I'm not sure how big that really is.

Most definitely. I wanted it for carpenter bees and wasps, but the more fragile the insect, the more lethal this weapon becomes. It is worth every dollar spent, in my opinion.

Mine hangs from a hook off my deck and I have some wasps but they don't get into the food. I've never had ants or other bugs. When it's really hot I clean them every 3rd day but when it's cooler once a week. The hummers really like them. I have two of them.

I would never get that close to wasps. There are excellent wasp killer sparays that have a range of 10-15 ft. Forget about freezing the wasps. It will not work.

Absolutely. I hung one of my by the back garage door and can now go in and out with no problem. We had to keep the door shut all of the time before I put these up. I also have one on our deck and see no more wasps. I wish I had tried these sooner. I would have saved a ton on wasp sprays. I love them! I hope this helps you Mrs. B

I do not know. I simply use a wasp and hornet spray that can be activated from helpful a distance. wish I could have been more helpful.

If you put these traps out sometime in spring when they start coming around you usually end up with the queen yellow jackets in the traps dead. We now have no nest. Keep them out until the end of the year when the're no longer around. Works great for the beheaded wasps, flies, nats...does not work for mud wasps

It likely will. In my experience, this works best as a weapon to kill the aggressive wasps as soon as they get near you. I would leave them alone if they would leave me alone, but since they are aggressive, this stuff literally knocks them out of the air and onto the ground in one shot!

I wish I could affirm the other answers. I have this same model "Commercial Grade". This is the can I bought because these reviews were better than the regular. I didn't get a powerful stream at all. It is an aerosol, so if you stand close enough, it should get in. I don't trust it to do the trick. It sure doesn't kill hornets on contact.

I have not seen bees or wasps. My problem is ants and filling the center container with water helps. I also rinse the outside of the feeder to remove any spilled syrup.

I bought this mid-Summer. It does NOT keep wasps/bees away. They still buzz around the area. I did read that the idea is to keep queens from nesting near the device, I guess I will find out next summer.

The box has to be assembled. There will be small gaps between the box and lid. It is possible you could get ants in there, but I don't think bees or wasps could get in. Being plastic a mouse could chew its way in. Mine has been outside for some time and there has been no intrusion. However, I wouldn't try keeping food in it that would attract mice and ants as I'm sure they would find a way in. It could only be rodent and bug proof if it was a hermetically sealed steel box.

I've had some problems, mainly ants, and resorted to a Trap-It ant trap (in red) which hold about 3/4 cup water, as the ant moat installed in the feeder is so small it dries out too quickly. There's times there's been wasps but - they get a drink and leave. Really, it may be that I got some of the solution on the outside or the like, but it's not a big problems. It's those ants.

Hi Rebecca, I'm sorry about your wasp problem. We have this product and I certainly wouldn't want it sprayed in my car. It is on a timer and would spray the chemical at timed intervals. I have no idea if it would even work with wasps. Good luck on your quest to find a resolution to your wasp situation!

Nothing. Actually, there are "ant" guards you can buy that can be forced into the hole that help. I mostly bring them out when we sit on the porch in the afternoon. The hummingbirds find it quickly, but the bees don't. The other option that's works temporarily on the one we leave out all the time is to spray the tip. It seems to affect the wasps but not the hummers.
