wasp bait

[3 NH reds]

I have had a recent infestation of wasps. Started with my egg layer coop run adding oyster shell and heard load buzzing and thought that is allot of flies. Well as one attacked my head I looked up to see a swarm. I am highly allergic to them and swell up bad so I am trapped in a run egg door shut on me. I dive to the ground grab the door run like H*** to get away. I come back at night and spray them, all done right. next few days still seeing some around and I find they are in a broke down tractor I am selling. I spray them and hope. More are around and I have to clean the tractor so I use the hose to spray them as they come around. Now three days go by and my wife gets stung near the layer coop, more in the tractor again so I spray them. Now we have a few hanging around my Duramax and one stings my wife and comes after me I grabbed a scrap 2 by4 and splatter it when it went back to the truck. I drive to work and I had one come out of the door panel as I was driving. Not sure where next but I am ready to kill everything that goes buzzing around the yard.
I am looking for something to bait them and kill them all. One site hinted about baiting with meat and they bring it back to the nest and everyone dies. Any good ideas?

Sorry...no ideas. But I'll be watching to see others' ideas. Bees are just terrible this year...bees and wasps, I guess maybe due to such a mild winter??? I haven't been stung by a bee since I was a kid (LONG ago), and so far this summer I've had two bee stings and one wasp sting. Had I been allergic, I would have been hurting...I'm not allergic and just the one wasp sting had my hand hugely swollen for two days

I bought a wasp/hornet/yellowjacket trap at Lowe's Home Improvements earlier this year, and it works pretty well except the attractant only lasts a couple of weeks. Google wasp traps, a lot of ideas for home-made ones come up.

I did make some home- made ones but so far no takers. I was seeing less of them as the day wore on. They came back to the spot where the nest was and flew around.Thinking this is the end but said that last week. Found two nests in the truck door jams. This makes 6 nests this year, I've had enough.

For the past few years we have used fake paper wasp/bald face hornet nest after bald face hornets decided to build a nest over our back door. The fake nest are made like a Japanese lanterns but painted to mimic a real nest. After a week of hosing the real nest repeatedly of the rafters the hornets disappeared within hours of hanging up the fake nest. They do not want to try to establish a nest with a vigorous colony close by. Try googling Get Lost Wasp, natural wasp deterrent. The last place I mail ordered them from was a feed store in Spokane. If we bring it in before winter we can usually get 2 summers out of them.

Great idea with the fake nest. We had the bald faced hornets really bad a few years ago. We have a Log home they were chewing on to build their nest. I stained it again to discourage them and it worked but they sure buzzed me. Sprayed them with stain if they got close

This is the nest I found in the winter. Some guy on a bug site identified the wasps as bald faced. Someone wanted to buy the nest but a big rain took care of that ( ps; Wasps desert the hive in the winter and start in spring)
