I've done a lot of research into this, and most methods only speak of how to kill them. Soapy water tends to rank high... and yeah, that's an option, but I'd prefer to prevent them.
There's a giant bumblebee that just floats around the dog's pen outside, and I really don't want one of the dogs to go after it. That, and I don't want it near me. Then around the front of the house there are wasps here and there around the bushes. I'd love to mow the lawn unmolested by these demons.
I did a cursory look around the house, and only see one apparent "nest", but it's an old one from the previous year, pretty high up. I'll try to spray it down sometime soon.
Are there any perimeter sprays or plants that I could get to deter bees and wasps? What works for you?
