Prevent them from Your Yard To get out of the problem it's better to prevent it earlier. Like many insects, wasps too are attracted to food, especially sugary and pet food. No food should be left lying and the garbage bins should be sealed tightly. Natural wasp repellent plants like eucalyptus, citronella, mint, and wormwood can be grown too. ## 2. Put Up a Fake Nest Wasps are very defensive, as they would not build a nest in a place they think is already under another colony. There are several retailers that sell fake wasp nests, or you can build your own. You can simply crumble a paper bag, attach it to a twig and place it in a visible location. ## 3. Get Rid of the Nest Spray natural wasp repellent on the wasp nest during dusk or dawn when they are least active. It’s ideal to do this during dawn or dusk when they are back in their nest and are least active. If you don’t have natural insecticide you can also use a solution of soap and water too. As the soap will attach on the wasp brings and weigh them down ## 4. Blocking : Wasps can nest underground too. To get rid of these, you can block all possible entrances and exits with dirt, large boulder or bowl. To make it more effective, pour in hot soapy solution into the hole before sealing it to shutdown. This will kill all the wasps in the nest, and the few ones that may survive will surely stay out of your yard!
