The appearance of wasps in a summer cottage is a rather dangerous situation that can lead to negative consequences. These insects perceive even careless movement as a signal of danger and a reason to attack. That’s why it’s so important to know what wasps are afraid of, how you can scare them away on the street, and what exactly these insects don’t like. Chemicals and folk remedies help control pests.

What attracts wasps

Wasps are usually attracted to the following products:

• juice, kvass and beer;
• honey and jam;
• sugar, syrup, yeast starter.

Rotting and fermented foods have an intense odor.Therefore, it is necessary to get rid of them in advance so that the aroma does not attract wasps. It is also important to consider that these insects feed the larvae with protein foods. Therefore, in addition to sweets, they are often attracted to meat foods.

Wasps also flock to other scents. In particular, they are attracted to perfumes and the smell of sweaty bodies. In addition, intense shades such as yellow or orange can cause insect aggression. The same goes for black.

What scares them away

To prevent dangerous insects from settling on the site, you need to know what will repel them. These could be repellent odors or special devices. Certain aromas that are pleasant to people, but not tolerated by wasps, can influence them in such a way that the insects even leave an inhabited nest.

So, these individuals cannot tolerate the following:

1. Soap - if you attach a piece of it to an old feeder, wasps will not build a nest there.
2. Smoke – to smoke out insects, it is recommended to use liquid smoke or smoke bombs. You can also make a fire from pine or fir cones.
3. Plants – the most effective crops include wormwood and lemon balm. You can also plant basil or mint. Such plants repel wasps so much that insects will definitely not settle near them. Therefore, it is worth planting such crops directly on the site.
4. Red pepper – it should be hung in bunches around the nest. After this, the wasps will leave this place forever.
5. Insecticidal sprays - after their use, most of the individuals in the nest will die. Those insects that remain will not return to the poisoned home.

It is useful not only to plant mint, but also to make strong decoctions from it. These products should be used to rub unprotected areas of the body before working in the garden or having a picnic.It is important to consider that the manipulation will have to be repeated, as the aroma disappears.

You can drive insects out of your area not only with smells. To do this, it is permissible to use special devices - electronic repellers. They can be bought at gardening stores, but such products are considered not particularly effective. It is also permissible to use mock-ups of hives. Wasps will not start building a nest near them to avoid rivalry between families.

How to fight insects

There are different ways to deal with harmful and dangerous insects. For this, chemical and folk remedies are usually used.

Chemicals

To cope with wasps, you can use the following means:

1. "Karbofos" is a remedy often used against pests. Usually the composition is applied by spraying. To combat wasps, simply mix the drug with sweet water and place traps in the garden. Instead of Karbofos, you can use its substitutes - Aliot or Alatan. For a glass of water you need to use 1 small spoon of the substance.
2. “Executioner” is a new generation product that has an instant effect. It is often used to combat ants, fleas, and cockroaches. However, the composition also copes well with wasps. To do this, the product also needs to be mixed with sweet water.
3. “Wasp eater” is a product specifically designed to combat wasps and flies. The composition is available in gel form. It can be spread on some kind of base in the form of a dotted line and placed in areas where wasps accumulate. They eat this stuff and die.
4. “Clean House” - the drug is released in the form of a spray. Its action is based on the content of insecticides - tetramerin and cypermerin.These substances penetrate the integument of wasps, causing damage to the nervous system and the development of paralysis. It is best to use the composition indoors. The can must be shaken before use.
5. Bros - the drug is also available in spray form. It has an unusual nozzle configuration, which is designed to spray the product from a distance of 5 meters. This substance is considered highly toxic to wasps, but completely harmless to humans. The can must be shaken before use. It is used while the wasps are in the nest. The composition must be sprayed strictly in the direction of the nest, holding the container in a vertical position. The product should be used a second time after a week.
6. "Mosquitoll" - the drug contains two pesticides at once. These include bioallertin and cypermethrin. When using the substance, it is necessary to use personal protective equipment, primarily for the respiratory tract. The composition must be sprayed from a distance of 6 meters.

Folk recipes

To cope with harmful insects, you can use folk remedies. Use special decoctions to wipe window sills and frames, or leave small pieces of cotton wool soaked in the decoction.

A mixture based on table vinegar is considered an effective composition. To do this, you need to take 1 small spoon of the substance and mix it with 250 milliliters of cool water. To achieve a more intense scent, soak cotton wool in highly concentrated vinegar or pour the liquid into a saucer.

To get rid of wasps forever, you can use essential oils. They need to be applied pointwise to the window frames or cotton wool soaked in them should be left between them. The solution can also be used for spraying external walls and areas near the nest.Wasps cannot tolerate the smell of lavender, mint, lemon balm, and basil.

To combat wasps, you can cut off the top part with the neck of a plastic bottle, fill it with old jam or syrup mixed with water, and insert the top of the cut bottle neck down on top. Such containers should be placed or hung in the garden. Wasps get inside, but cannot fly out. As a result, their death occurs. Periodically, dead individuals need to be removed and the containers filled with new syrup.

To simply scare away pests, you should use liquid smoke. This product helps protect crops but does not kill wasps. To do this, it is enough to spray fruit trees and vineyards with liquid smoke. Insects will ignore such plants.

Wasps are quite dangerous insects that can cause great harm to people. To prevent these parasites from annoying people and harming garden crops, it is worth using effective chemicals and folk remedies.
