How do you keep Red Wasp and Yellow Jackets away from your pool?

- Keep your pool covered when not in use. This will help to prevent wasps and yellow jackets from getting into the water and building nests.

- Remove any standing water from your property. Wasps and yellow jackets are attracted to standing water, so it's important to eliminate any sources of it around your pool. This includes emptying birdbaths, flower pots, and kiddie pools.

- Keep your garbage cans covered. Wasps and yellow jackets are also attracted to garbage, so it's important to keep your garbage cans covered at all times.

- Hang wasp traps around your pool area. Wasp traps can be purchased at most hardware stores and are an effective way to catch and kill wasps and yellow jackets.

- Use wasp repellent. There are a number of wasp repellents on the market that can be sprayed around your pool area to deter wasps and yellow jackets.

- Be careful not to attract wasps and yellow jackets. Avoid eating or drinking sugary foods and drinks near your pool, and don't leave any food or garbage lying around.

If you have a severe problem with wasps or yellow jackets, you may need to contact a pest control company.
