How to Lure Wasps Away

Here’s an easy way to keep wasps and bees from bugging you while you’re outdoors. Take an empty plastic soda bottle and cut off the top. Poke two holes in the top, one on either side of the opening, then invert the top so that the opening is pointed down. Fasten a long, sturdy string through the holes, so that it loops from one side of the top to the other. Then put the top back into the bottle upside down so that it acts as a funnel, securing it with duct tape. Next, pour some sugar water into the bottle, and hang it in an out-of-the way corner of your yard. The wasps and bees will be attracted to the sugar water, leaving you alone.
