I used to have a couple of pear trees in the yard of my old house, and I learned to pick up any fruit that fell on the ground. If I didn't, the juice would ferment under the skin, and wasps would pierce the skin, drink the juice, and get drunk.

It turns out that wasps get real belligerent when drunk, and I'd go out to work on my garden and have to run back into the house for cover from some drunken wasp.

It tracks that wasps would be mean drunks.

Pro tip: tack a brown paper bag up where the wasps make a nest. They'll think it's a hornets nest and fuck off.

You can also buy fake hornets nests to hang up, and they work really well. I put one up next to a rather large nest, and within 24h they were gone and had dismantled their nest completely

I've also heard that roach spray along where they build nests will deter them, but I dislike pesticides.

Excellent organic gardening tips I hadn't heard before. Thanks.
