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...(gay, I know)

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...

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.

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

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.

You probably have a nest somewhere near your roof, or in your roof. We have had this twice - had to call out an exterminator which can cost anywhere from £30 to £70. Did the job quicktime though.

How to get rid of the wasps ?

What is wrong with you? You shouldn't get rid of wasps, they are fantastic little creatures! Coming up to that favourite time where I can put jam out for them all over the garden.

Where is Bol?

Near Spag

You must have heard of Buda and Pest (like the wasps). Well Milan has been in Spag Bol

Also, add some water, and a drop of washing up liquid to weaken the surface tension. They'll be floating dead in no time.

Also works very well for fruit flies, using cider vinegar instead of water.

I like to put a webcam on the jar and watch them slowly die.

Used jam jars with some jam, make several small holes in the lid. Once in; they can't get out.
