Bounce and wasps!!!! Update

[LaurelRidgeDreams]

We've been working on the inside of our new coop. The first two days, I dodged wasps, killed those I could, and knocked down the beginnings of a nest. In looking for a way to repel them without poison, I read that bounce fabric softner would do the job. So, I stuffed some pieces up in the rafter area where the wasps were hanging out. NO MORE WASPS

Not a one!!!! The coop smells good, too

Bounce has many great uses beside making clothes soft. IT is a great mosqito repellant rub it on before you go outside then stuff the piece in a pocket. If you have a cooking pan that has burnt stuff on it fill with water and let a bounce sheet soak overnight. I have saved many pans this way. Google for more tips and tricks

Doe it have to be bounce, or can it be any fabric softener sheet? Man, am I fussy or what?

I have no idea.

I used bounce linen fresh scent but my guess is any fabric softener sheet might work.

I was just back out in the coop and a wasp came to visit. Instead of killing it, I watched for a while. It went from one place to another and hung out just a few seconds. Then, it left the coop.

I think any fabric softner sheet will work its the anti static that does it
