Spray bottle with water
One of the easiest tricks to get rid of wasps is to spray them with water. Through this shower, the insects think that it is raining and quickly move to their nest, so that their wings do not get wet and they can no longer fly. However, this only helps for a short time, because the wasps realize relatively quickly that it is only a ‘local shower’. Nevertheless, this trick is helpful – and quickly done in any case.

Set up replacement food
When the wasps pounce on your food, they are in this sense only looking for food. However, you can easily get this for them – and drive them away from your own plate. Just put a plate of cut fruit and some meat or sausage on the table (away from your own food) and let the wasps feast on this substitute food.

Avoid perfume
The smell of sweet perfume is pleasant not only for us humans, but also for wasps. To drive away the insects or even to take precautionary measures, you should simply leave out the perfume. In any case, you are less likely to be approached by wasps.
