Keep Wasps Away With a Brown Paper Bag

Wasps are unfriendly guests at everyone’s house. I recommend using a brown grocery sack to trick wasps into staying away. There are some species of wasps that tend to avoid a pre-existing wasp’s nest, so by crumpling up a brown paper sack to resemble a nest, they may be tricked into avoiding that location.

1 – Take the brown paper bag and stuff it with some newspapers or more paper bags.

Wasps will normally stay away from the vicinity of the fake paper bag nest because they don’t like confrontation with other wasps.
