✓ EFFECTIVE VISUAL DETERRENT: The simulated original Get Lost Wasp nest relies on wasps' natural instinctive and territorial behavior to avoid building new nests within a 200 ft. radius of a competing existing colony. Helps to prevent wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets from building new nests provided there are no existing nests in the area!✓ MULTIPLE DECOY NESTS: 2-Pack of durable paper-like artificial wasp nests constructed from a weather resistant cotton and bamboo fiber blend; each hanging eco-friendly wasp deterrent measures 8.5 inches in diameter with a height of 11 inches.✓ NON-TOXIC & CHEMICAL-FREE: Stop using toxic chemical sprays and foams that have a limited effect and rely on repeated use. Keep children, pets, and everyone else safe within your outdoor living area while enjoying time together outside.✓ QUICK & EASY TO DEPLOY: Simply hang the original Get Lost Wasp under eaves, decks, dense tree canopy or any other protected outdoor area with limited amount to rain and moisture. Then sit back, relax, and appreciate a sting-free BBQ, pool party, family get together, and more.✓ PERFECT NO-KILL & NO-TRAP SOLUTION: Both hornets and some species of wasps provide vital pest control services within an ecosystem and feed on other nuisance insects such as aphids & mosquitos. Killing social wasps with traditional high maintenance traps is counterproductive as this only encourages more wasp activity! Trapped or dead wasps may release alarm pheromones in which fellow wasps then arrive to investigate and attack the perceived danger.

>The Get Lost Wasp is a simulated wasp nest which acts on wasps' instinctual and territorial behavior. Most species of wasps have a natural tendency to avoid nesting within a 200 ft. radius of a competing colony. Wasps also tend to patrol no further from their nest than this same 200 ft. radius. The Get Lost Wasp acts as a first line of defense in the pest management of your property by simulating that the area is already claimed by an existing colony of wasps.
A bit of both! i think wasps are territorial and wont build nests if they suspect there are ones already in the area. I've seen a few of the cheap paper looking ones in my neighborhood like these: https://www.amazon.ca/FMI-Brands-Natural-Non-Toxic-Deterrent/dp/B000W93LUU/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1501371275&sr=8-2&keywords=decoy+wasp+nest
don't put them near the hives - place them somewhere where they will draw yellowjackets away. There are also these fake wasp nests that are a much lower impact and safer alternative.
Nice find. Looks like they're available on Amazon as well.
I had thought about making some out of paper bags but I ended up buying them off of amazon. One of my sisters just crumpled up some paper bags and hung them with yarn. She said that worked for her
This is the one I got off amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000W93LUU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_p4FPCbBBQCVWH
I can't believe no one has given you a good answer yet but get these

For some reason wasps don't like other wasps living near them and they move.... fast. I've used these several times and they are always gone in a day or so
I get the whole wasp problem. They like BBQs and grills. I can't vouch for it's effectiveness, but you can try hanging one of these nearby. Also, put a potted peppermint plant right next to the grill or use peppermint essential oil as a deterrent.
As for the cover, some have drawstrings rather than elastic, but really, nothing that will keep out bugs. If it's not a ton of trouble, you could always wheel the grill into the garage when not in use. Solves the moisture and wasp problem.
