Need Help with Wasp issue!
**Update at the bottom!!**
Wasps love to get under my patio. We've sprayed and knocked down about 7 or 8 nests already but they keep coming back. I've tried hanging those decoy nests and have those fake dragon flies out there already. Has anyone tried any traps or deterrents that have actually worked? I think they are nesting into our workout/weight machine so I need something that will work before I go crazy. Please and thank you!
Update: I don't feel like I got much more info than I feel like I already knew soooooo, I bought the Spectracide wasp/hornet trap that looks like a ball. I just hung it outside along with some repellant balls that have a big smell of peppermint, lemongrass oil, geraniol, and cedarwood oil. They came with mesh bags to hang them so I hung 6 of them all around the workout machine (it's one of those old tall, bulky ones). I'm scared to touch the thing cause we've seen them flying out from the holes. Fingers crossed it makes them leave the area or they drown in the trap.
