Right now it’s prime picnic season, but those sneaky wasps can crash your vibe, right? No worries! There’s a simple trick to keep them at bay while you chill and munch on your snacks.
First things first, when a wasp buzzes around, just stay chill. If you flap around like a crazy person, she might think you're a predator - and that’s a no-no! Keep your mouth closed and breathe easy to avoid giving off carbon dioxide, which makes them think there's a threat nearby.
Next, keep your eyes peeled on the wasp - she’s usually looking for food to take back to her nest. If she's snatching up a slice of ham or a dollop of jam, you’ll know what to keep an eye on! Here’s the scoop: if you create a little ‘wasp offering’ away from your main food, she’ll be less likely to bother you while you eat. Just grab a bit of what she’s after and place it a few steps away. Win-win!
Wasps are super helpful for our ecosystem, acting as pest controllers by munching on flies and caterpillars. So while they might seem annoying, they actually do a lot to help. Plus, if you notice they’re more interested in sweets, it means their larvae are growing up, and they’re on a sugar hunt!
