A container with moth balls will do the trick. I use one of those
fishing bait containers.

Birds that come to feeders eat seed. Birds that eat insects will take
wasps but not enough to significantly reduce the wasps' numbers, as far
as I've ever been able to tell, having lived in a very birdy and waspy
location. That whole "balance of nature" thing, I suppose :-)

I don't think you can stop them from coming back. I get them every year,
year after year.

What kind of wasps? Paper wasps with little honeycomb nests that look like
upside down umbrellas? These are non-aggressive, like honey bees. They would
build a nest under the eaves of my doorway. I'd look up and have a wasp nest
12 inches from my nose. They ignored me. I took them down because I didn't
want to slam the door and make them mad. They are gentle, but will still
defend their nests.

Mud daubers are solitary wasps that are gentle like paper wasps, I leave
them all alone so long as they aren't on my house or a heavily trafficked
area.

Yellow jackets? Bald faced hornets (black and white wasps)? Kill with
extreme prejudice. They will defend their nests aggressively.
