Supposedly this distorts the wasps' senses - making them think of 'sky' and that it's futile to try to build a nest there.<BR/><BR/>I haven't tried the 'blue paint method' here because thus far the wasps don't feel they need to build a home on the underside of our porch eaves. (Need I add how GRATEFUL WE ARE for that?) All I can say is that I definitely haven't ever seen a wasp's nest on the underside of the roof of a porch that was painted sky blue, so maybe it works?<BR/><BR/>Having been in Outer Space, I have to wonder exactly how the wasps are getting in - thru the floorboards?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
