Hi there,
Why do we not know a loving way to collect & move God’s creature’s around without the
end ( them ) theme. There was a book on TV a couple years ago called something like
( Natural remedie’s and bug and rodent repellant. If anyone has one of these books or
knows where I could get one please let me know. I would like to not have poison around
etc. I have kittens and myself and them won’t be dancing with wolves or wasps yet there
has to be a natural way to get them to relocate. Ants too yet have made friends with them
and try to have them eat out. But maybe the wasps are dinning on their food. Thanks for any help for caring repellant, no poison, natural ideas !

This assumes that trapping wasps makes the area wasp-free. In fact, the science-based literature on wasp control says that it doesn’t do much good: wasps just make lots more wasps real fast, and it only takes a few to be bothersome, so it’s only effective near the end of the season when numbers naturally diminish. Even then, it doesn’t usually reduce numbers enough to matter. Plus, if there’s bait around, you can bet the wasps will keep coming.

Instead of trapping, the approved approach is to give them a poison which they will take back to the nest, where it will kill the lot of them. The recommended poison is microencapsulated diazinon, and the bait is shrimp- or fish-based cat food. Here’s one discussion of the issue:

This does not work if you have a log house(which i do). Pretty much nothing but a good ol can of wasp spray and/or a flyswatter is your only hope!!
