Kathyb's Tip

Image
my neighbor's blooming crabapple tree viewed from my deck May 2017 Spring is starting to show itself in the area: trees are blooming, grass is green, and flowers are starting to show some color. With all of that growth come critters who can become a nuisance. Enter the annual wasp invasion. Every year, I have wasp nests under my deck roof, and every year, I attack them with spray and destroy their nests. However, this year I decided to try a tip that Kathyb shared on her blog . lunch bag inflated and hung on the deck As I was uncovering the patio furniture, I saw that the wasps had returned and were industriously constructing their nests. They payed no heed to the single bag, but when the second bag was hung, they flew away. I haven't seen them since. two inflated lunch bags suspended on the deck May 2017 I hope the bags continue to do the trick, as I dislike using a pesticide.
