A tip too keep the wasps away.

I have had loads in the house over the course of this week and they are so annoying and Ollie will snap at them and I do not want him to swallow one.

I started burning citronella oil in my oil burners near the back door it helped a bit but not a lot and I am finding the fly blind doesn't help much either.

I looked on the internet for some tips and found this one take a plastic drinks bottle and cut the top off as it start to widen out then put the funnel bit that you pour out of into the bottle and secure with strong tape ie: duct tape or similar, in the bottom put some fruit juice I use non sugar ones and yesterday it wasn't working so today I put 3 tsps of sugar in it and I now have a load of wasps in there and I am also burning one of the outdoor citronella candles in a jar hanging from a bird table near the back door and am keeping the two indoors burning. I have success.

I hope it may help others who are having a problem.

Everywhere smells extra nice too.
