The Best Way To Control Wasps Is To trap Wasps

Wasps love to hang around the pool. But can wasps swim? The answer is: not very well. They can survive in water for a short period of time, but won't last long if they can't get out. There is not a wasp spray or repellent that you can use to keep them from coming to the water. So:

I recommend the use of traps that lure wasps in, but they can't get out. And you want to hang or install those traps 10-15 feet away from the pool. The best results will be had if you can hang wasp traps in multiple locations 10-15 feet from the pool.

The idea is that when the wasp traps lure wasps in, they are also luring them away from the water. This is by far the most effective DIY Wasp Control method - especially close to water. Can wasps swim? Not well, and not well in a wasp trap, either.
