WaspWarden
Your Trail Companion for a Buzz-Free Campsite
Lightweight, tough, and ready for adventure, the WaspWarden keeps wasps, mosquitoes, and flies away from your camp, picnic, or garden. It easily screws onto any standard pop bottle and can be hung from a tree or placed flat on the ground — wherever you need it most.
When not in use, WaspWarden packs down small enough to fit in your pocket or backpack, making it an essential piece of kit for every hiker. Arriving at your overnight stop? Snap it together in seconds and enjoy a bug-free evening.
It prints in under 40 minutes on a standard A1 printer, using less than 7g of filament — making it a fast, affordable, and dependable addition to any trail gear setup.
Don’t let bugs ruin your adventure — carry a WaspWarden.
Tips for Maximum Trapping Power:
- Sweet Bait: Fill your bottle with a mix of water, sugar, and a little fruit juice to attract wasps and flies.
- Protein Bait: In early spring, wasps prefer protein — small pieces of lunch meat or fish scraps can work very well.
- Vinegar Trap: Add a splash of vinegar to your sweet bait to help repel bees while still trapping wasps and flies.
- Mosquito Attractor: Use stagnant water mixed with a pinch of yeast and sugar — the yeast produces carbon dioxide that draws in mosquitoes.
- Location Matters: Hang WaspWarden a few meters away from your eating or sleeping area to lure pests away from you.
- Refresh Your Bait: For best results, check and refresh the bait every day or two, especially in hot weather.
Pro Hiker Tip:
Carry a few sugar packets and a tea bag in your backpack — with just water from your bottle, you’ll have instant bait ready anywhere, anytime.

A Quick Note
Each model is tested before sharing, but every printer is a little different — sometimes a small tweak is all it takes for a perfect print. If you run into trouble, try:
- Giving your build plate a good clean
- Rechecking bed leveling or Z-offset
- Slowing down the first few layers
- Using a brim or raft for extra grip
