If they’re hanging around your house or garden but haven’t built a nest too close you can hang up a fake nest or two which makes them avoid the area. Some are small grey bags of fabric which don’t look like wasp nests to us but do to other wasps. Look up ‘Waspinator.’

My child is highly allergic to wasps stings.

Young children or a cat won't repel wasps.
