So, this year was obviously no exception and the wasps came back in ready to build and multiply!
Above is their entrance and exit hole, below is a blurry shot of what they've managed to build. Not much, but enough to bring them back year after year.
Anyway, this year on a particularly warm day, every where you turned there were black wasps flying to and fro, bumping into me and cages - landing on everything and anything. A few even chased me!
So, I started getting fed up with them. And having a spray bottle I got from the dollar store a year or so ago filled with water and a fly swat, I began to go after each and every wasp. What I did is this. When I saw one flying, I'd spray like a lunatic, misting the wasp all over making it's wings too heavy to fly. Once it'd land, I'd swat it! I even misted inside their hole onto all of them working on expanding their home. Now, a couple weeks later, I have ZERO wasps! They've all left! Looks like a little water and a fly swat are the perfect and very simple solution. And miraculously, I did it all with no stings :)
