Get Rid Of Pesky Ground Wasps With A Pantry Staple
By LINDSAY DONALDSON
You can effectively get rid of pesky ground wasps using a pantry staple: apple cider vinegar. It works as both a repellent and an insecticide to tackle the pests in
your yard.
To make a DIY repellent, mix equal parts water and vinegar in a spray bottle and add a squirt of dish soap. Spray the solution directly on the nest, especially around the entrance.
The best time to apply the spray is in the evening when wasps are less active and calming down for the night. Remember to wear long sleeves and pants to avoid getting stung.
While wasps like yellow jackets are aggressive and known for their stings, others, such as solitary wasps, are beneficial to the ecosystem, so consider leaving
them alone.
