Wasps on the terrace

When you get 1 wasp do you squash it? I've heard doing that releases chemicals which attracts its friends to come and seek revenge

Definitely the case for hornets. Not sure about wasps. But hornets are less aggressive than wasps, unless you really upset them, so best left alone. Those electric fly swatters are good for dealing with wasps.

My wife says, if you hang up a brown paper bag, the wasps will bugger off due to thinking its another wasps nest.

Tried similar thing with crows, a black wooly that hat is supposed to look like a dead crow. It does work for a bit but being quite intelligent they soon see through it. It would be same with wasps, they have massive IQs.

Hang up a dead cat. The wasps will be attracted to this thus leaving you alone.
Where is Bol?

Strangely similar to one of Chetty's old posts...

Bol is very nice except it rained when I was there

(Real) lemon juice in a cup or smeared over the table keeps them away. I've been rubbing it in my hair this week as it not only keeps them away but makes your hair look like you've spent weeks surfing in some exotic place...(sad, I know)
