Does anyone else make wasp traps from old jam pots?
Leave a bit of jam up the sides, fill 2/3rds full of water and punch some holes in the lid.
Watch the little feckers get in after the jam but not able to escape they slowly get exhausted and drop into the water and drown.
Sounds a bit barbaric...

Basically, when one comes near you, run away in a panicky flap like a girl and they go away. Or maybe a human can run faster than a wasp can fly?
Tis what I do.
stek machine, zero stings.....

If you run from a wasp they just get caught in your slipstream like in F1 racing and follow you
