One way to get rid of wasps.
Holy moly.. I guess its bug season! I currently have a wasp/bee problem at my apartment. Both colonies appear to have nested somewhere near the gutters by my balcony, which means our balcony is 'danger Will Robinson'. I've heard making a fake wasp nest keeps them away since they won't go near a nest that isn't theirs. Any truth to that you know of?

From what I've read, the fake nests don't work well -- but it can't hurt to try.

I'm pretty sure hurting would be the #1 thing at the top of the list of things that would happen if it didnt work lol

Fake nests don't work well here... Wasps will cut old nests down to make new ones here.
Last summer I saw my first bald faced hornet, never have I seen them around here before, the first sign of a nest being formed on my property and I am burning the house down, that is the only real solution!
