Best Wasp Repellents

This is a unique but highly effective way of keeping wasps away without the need for any chemicals or sprays. It’s a decoy colony, and wasps are naturally known not to build a nest within 200 feet of another one. Wasps are very territorial so if they believe there is a nearby nest they will stay away.

The package comes with two nests, so you should have everything you need to keep them away from all your outdoor living areas. The decoys are simple to set up, and the most significant thing about this is that it does not require attention over time. You can set it up, and it will last you years without having to do anything. The best way to eliminate wasps in your yard is to repel them rather than kill them and this does just that.

Wondercide is an all natural spray that is safe around children and pets. You can spray this on anything in the home because it does not stain and does not contain any harsh chemicals that will harm your family. The spray kills over 100 different home pests including wasps and hornets.

The main ingredients that repel pests in the spray are peppermint and lemongrass which wasps and hornets hate the smell of. The scent is quite sweet, so you do not mind spraying it around the house on furniture and other fabrics.

These disposable wasp catcher traps work similarly to the wasp nest decoy. They are used with a food-based attractant to draw the wasps in and traps them in with a double layer plastic bag. If you use these in the right locations, they are effective at deterring hornets, but you need to have a good idea of where to put them. They can hang from a string in trees and draw hornets and wasps away from your patio area.

This oil works similar to how a citronella candle would by using essential oils to repel wasps and hornets rather than spraying them directly with something. This oil goes into the DecoShield Repellent Device which gets used in the same way that a citronella candle is. The package comes with two refills, and each one lasts for up to ten days.

This oil is a simple and effective way to repel wasps without having to kill them or spray chemicals around your children and pets. Setup is quick and simple but for this to be effective it will require that you continue to purchase refills and fill the canister frequently, so it is not exactly a “set it and forget it” strategy.
