How to Keep Wasps Attracted to My Pool
WouterKeeping your swimming pool clean can be a full-time job. However, there are some tricks to keep it bug free.
First, make sure you have the right equipment. A simple, cheap and effective method is to install a wasp trap. You can do this by adding a little grease to a bottle and filling it with a sweet liquid. This will attract wasps and other insects.
A similar idea is to make a decoy nest that can be hung in your backyard. Wasps will be drawn to the decoy nest and not your pool. It is best to place the decoy nest near the pool and in the early months of the year. This will increase the odds of success.
You can make a decoy nest using a brown paper bag. Fill the bag with moth balls and blow it up to create a nice-looking nest. This will help keep wasps from taking over your pool.
Another tip is to add a new source of water to the pool. If you are fortunate enough, you can add a bird bath, bucket or even a dish.
Another great tip is to add some citrus. Citrus naturally deters stinging insects. For some people, the best way to get rid of a wasp is to hire a pest control company.
The best way to keep a wasp from occupying your pool is to not leave food out for them. Raw meat will attract flies and maggots. Also, keep it clean as soon as you are done eating.
