Sporty,
I just posted a thing on one of the other questions about wasps. (Well, yellow jackets)
Under the balloon
flowers,
I hate to kill them, because if they would just stay on the
flowers they'd have a good home. But I've got to little boys and out side alot and the first one is allergic to everything, and he has a slight reaction when stung and if it's the bees or the kid, I'm gonna pick the kid.
But ole, natural girl here says, I guess if you've gotta get them away from the house, there are non~chemical ones that are out that will do the trick... We've used it on the swing set and climbing units we have. I feel bad, but the little ones don't deserve it, all's they're doing is playing. Those yellow jackets can be so aggressive when there's food around.
If you go to the garden sections there should be one with a pyretherine in it... That's a natural ingredient for killing them or something like that, read the label, it'll say it in bold print. This one we have smells like peppermint. We spray it at night just before we go to bed, with a flashlight, so they are sleeping and any that do come out won't get us in the dark. We may go back one more time the next night to finish the stragglers...
Hope this info helps!!
