I have had tyo take down two wasps nests on my new house. Any ideas to
keep them from coming back?

birdfeeders or anything like that?

Be sure to knock down the nest. But then they just move to another spot.
Trick is to inspect very often, and when one gets started, knock it
completely off there. I used a long cane fishing pole.

The wasp/hornet spray will repel them for a week or two.

Thank you. I have sprayed the first one, it was 10 feet high (top of
gargage door), this second one is 25 feet up above garage (need two
ladders...).

What is a known predator for a wasp? Can a buy an owl to patrol the
skies around my house. LOL

It seems like the most dangerous aspect of wasps are the extreames
people go to in killing them. Wasps are really pretty harmless,
particularly 25 feet away.
