Wasps!! (28)
serene56: I've had wasps build a nest on a decorative concrete elephant's head thingy hanging off my back fence the last couple of summers.
When I was sure they had vacated the premises the summer before last, I removed and disposed of the nest but of course they've returned a built a new home once again.
It seems they've now moved on (I'll make sure before I touch it) and I've read that after removing the nest, putting tea tree oil or even rubbing a bar of soap on the favoured spot deters them from returning
In future, I would like to keep them away altogether if possible so any advice would be appreciated

I have a new found trust in surface spray ... I bleach then disinfect the area then give it a good dose of surface spray every few months ...
Haven't seen any of the mongrels since ...
and GoD knows I hate the Farkers ................................

Oh ok
Seems it's scents they are attracted to, or repelled by.
Sounds like a good mix P and yeah I hate them too, copped a hiding from one year before last when I was out in the yard weeding and trimming

I used to get those little tiny wasps in Brisbane under my eaves and they gave a nasty bite when stirred up. I used to spray Baygon on them and bolt for the door before they swarmed on me. My step son once got bitten all inside his shirt by a swarm of European wasps after he kicked a tussock of grass on the foreshore.

I'm not really sure about your deterrents, but anything is worth a go as I hate wasps.

I used to be a smoker serene and I was driving along in the truck when I thought some hot ash had fallen into my shirt ... Turns out it was a wasp and it hurt like hell ...
Burning is how I can describe its stinging frenzy ...
Oh Yeah It was DeaD when I through its squashed up remains out of the drivers window .............................................
Had a wasps nest under the beam of our Veranda so got fly spray and crept out after dark and drenched it ...easy no more Wasps.
Serene if its the elephant head they like...Id get rid of it.
Looked up on the net and cant seem to find any deterent however one suggestion was to leave the nest there if its dead as wasps then wont return to it...
good luck with getting rid of it

Had a problems with WASPs when I first got married. We moved away from the Presbyterian Church at Cronullato the inner city where White Anglo-Saxon Parents did not seem to be around as much.
serene56: Seems I waited until my dotage lol to have painful things inflicted on me .. wasps, broken bones
I remember when my daughter was a toddler, I was strapping her into her car seat and she was whinging and carrying on like nothing else.
Tried to get her to settle down until I lifted her up and found she was sitting on a BEE!!
Poor little thing
Bad serene bad serene

Sheesh

I recall sitting on someone's deck one night, felt something crawling on the back of my neck, thinking it was a mozzie I slapped it and got the most violent sting
It swelled up to the size of a golfball and was sore and itchy for days!

Yes they are larger and way more aggressive then the normal wild wasp they attack if you come near them. I was walking along the street in a country town walked under a tree and they went crazy and stung me all up my arm nearly paralized my arm took 24 hrs to calm down after antibiotics pumped into me. that was in 2009
