Wasp's nest fake keeps wasps away

Currently reads and hears all sorts of tips against wasp plague. I tried the tip with the paper bag and it actually helps! The wasps see the "nest" and since they do not like being around "strange nests", they turn back and I can sit on the balcony undisturbed.

So you build a "false wasp nest":

  1. A brown / beige paper bag (for example, from the supermarket) stuffed with crumpled newspaper.
  2. Compress the bag at the top so that it is roughly in the shape of a wasp's nest.
  3. Stuffed paper bag hanging on the balcony or terrace.

The wasps believe that there is already a state and thus stay away from the surrounding area.
