Figure this was a good place to ask.
My whole block has a horrible wasp issue. All my neighbors seem to just be killing them as they see them with raid or something, which hasent helped much.
My plan was to use a vinegar/water mix with a few drops of peppermint oil and go around the house and spray it in the areas i cant have them for immediate action. But i also hear you can plant some herbs like lemon balm and mint to help keep them away from certain areas. I’m not sure how true this is so I figured id ask.
I already have some lavender, lemond balm, and catmint plants i can move around.
P.S. i know they’re necessary and good to have around, but my 2 year old is allergic and loves to play in the yard.
It doesn’t really matter which brand. They are yellow wasp traps sold at hardware stores. They use a little cotton disc soaked in attractant that lasts 4-6 weeks. The only issue is having to empty out the trap periodically. I think there’s a WHO brand.
