About this episode
They buzz around your fruit salad, hover over your barbecue, and seem to think the edge of your pool is their hangout. Every summer, it’s the same story - wasps turning your outdoor bliss into a swatting frenzy. But it doesn’t have to be this way; there are ways to keep them at bay.
There are gentler, and smarter ways to make them buzz off. Essential oils are a great place to start. Scents like lemongrass, cloves, and lavender are natural wasp deterrents.
What about when you're having a barbecue? But aren’t we supposed to protect wasps? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
