Summer is here, and with it come the annoying, pesky, and dangerous guests – wasps and hornets! While these bugs are useful for nature, for most of us, they are a real nightmare. Buzzing around garden tables, flying near sweet drinks and fruits, and the fear of painful stings can ruin outdoor fun. But don’t worry! There are natural ways to get rid of them without chemicals.
First and foremost – mint is your best friend! Wasps and hornets hate its smell. Planting mint in your garden or pots can keep them away. If you want a stronger weapon, use peppermint oil. Soak a cotton ball with the oil and place it near spots where you’ve seen wasps or hornets. You can also make a spray by adding a few drops of oil to water and spraying the affected areas.
But that’s not all! Cinnamon, cloves, and clove buds are also effective in repelling these pests. Try different combinations and find what works best in your yard.
Experts warn that if you have to deal with a nest, it’s best to call professionals. Don’t mess with hornets as they are more aggressive than bees and don’t die after stinging. But for everyday annoying wasps, natural tricks are the way to go.
So next time wasps ruin your summer fun, remember mint and peppermint oil. Nature has a solution for everything; you just need to know where to look! And if you have your own trick, share it – maybe your recipe will save someone from summer troubles with these pests!
