Wasps in the pool

Try a squirt of Fairy liquid (other brands are available) won't prevent them but kills them as they can't take off

Thanks for your help. We did this and it helped a little. As you say, they land and can’t take off again so die in the water. We found out there’s a nest in an adjacent property that is not vacated at present so guess we’ll have to  use Fairy everyday. I hope it doesn’t affect the pump? 

We found that if you leave them alone and don’t scream and wave around they leave you alone.

But unfortunately even a dead one can sting you.

We put an old small container with some jam or marmalade in it near or to the side of the pool ( where you are not going ) and they seem to flock to that. It worked wonders last Summer. Haven’t had them this year yet. Good Luck

The advice I gave you was given to me by my pool cleaner at my last property so it won't affect your pump

Thanks Jackie. We also got a brown paper bag and blew into it then hung it from a tree. We didn’t have as many. We’ll see what happens today 😎🐝
