How to Keep Wasps Away From Your Swimming Pool
WouterDuring summer, it’s not uncommon to find a group of wasps around your pool. They are territorial insects that sting as a self-defense mechanism. They will usually make a nest near a reliable water source. They are also attracted to saltwater and strong odors.
There are many ways to keep wasps away from your pool. One of the best methods is to keep the water clean. This will help discourage wasps from making a nest near your pool. You can also install potted greenery near your pool. You will also want to keep the water covered to prevent wasps from getting under the cover.
Another method to keep wasps away from your pool is to change the water regularly. This can be done by adding water to your birdbath or by using a bucket.
You can also use dryer sheets as a natural repellent. You can place them in colorful bins around your pool. You should change them every week or so.
One of the most effective ways to keep wasps away from your swimming pool is to put a decoy nest nearby. These nests are designed to mimic a real wasp nest. Hang the decoy nest as close to your pool as possible.
If you’re concerned that a decoy nest is not enough to keep wasps away from your pool, you can purchase a wasp repellent from your local store. Some people like to use spearmint. You can also put lavender and lemongrass in a glass bottle to keep stinging insects away. You can also purchase citronella candles.
