When the weather is nice, lunches, naps, small parties and cocktails in the garden become pleasant. To prevent wasps from spoiling the atmosphere, here are some natural solutions to repel them without killing them.
Coffee
Burn fresh ground coffee in a small metal container using a lighter or match. The smoke released will be unpleasant for wasps and will keep them away. There are some who let it dry well, then place it on a hot coal or on the embers of a barbecue once their meal is cooked.
Note: no need to burn grounds . The coffee must be fresh and not previously used.
Essential oils
In addition to their pleasant scent, true lavender and lemongrass essential oils are effective in repelling wasps. Add 10 drops of essential oil to 100ml of water and spray where needed.
Cloves
On a table or other place, place a handful of crushed cloves or a citrus fruit studded with several cloves where you deem it necessary to repel wasps naturally. This will definitely repel wasps!
Incense
Burn incense sticks in the house or patio. The strong smell of incense will scare away wasps. In addition, it will perfume your interior.
