Helpful hints to deter wasps from gathering around your balcony or patio. You can create a simple solution with household products. You will need a spray bottle, apple cider vinegar, dish soap, and water.
You can create a spray solution by mixing equal parts of apple cider vinegar and water and adding a few drops of liquid dish soap.
• How it works:
The strong odor of vinegar disrupts a wasp's sense of smell, deterring them from the area. The dish soap helps the spray cling to surfaces, and the acidity of the vinegar can also have a deterrent effect.

Another alternative is creating a wasp trap by filling a bottle with a sweet liquid mixture of water, sugar, and apple cider vinegar. These methods work by either disrupting the wasp’s sense of smell or attracting them to a trap where they will become stuck.
Wasp Trap:
• Ingredients: Water, sugar, and apple cider vinegar.
• Method: Fill a 2-liter bottle with a mixture of sugar water and apple cider vinegar. Cut a small hole in the top of the bottle.
• How it works: Wasps are drawn to the sweet mixture and then get stuck inside the bottle and effectively trapping them.

Additional Tips:
• Remove attractants:
Ensure the balcony is free of food, garbage, and other potential wasp attractants.
