My dad hung an empty, but puffed-up McDonalds paper bag on a tree... Supposedly it looks like a wasp nest and wards off other wasps.

Interesting, but 1) I hate McDonalds, and b) I have no need for paper puffys around the grounds. Oh, and none of the trees have branches that are low enough to easily reach. The wasps would pass out from lack of oxygen to get up to the fake nests. Instead I will smash all the nests that I see and do away with them. I will be merciless.

I put on my shoes a few years ago and one of those Satanic bastards had taken up residence in the toe of my shoe. Nailed me on the big toe before I could get his **** out and send him straight to hell.

My parents used to hang jars of water from the eaves of their house. That supposedly kept the wasps away. Do not ask me how, but my Dad swore that it worked.

Yeah - that really helps keep the wasps away, but then you a hoard of obese people hanging around

For entertainment purposes I'd consider hanging them juuuuust out of reach.

be careful if you try to burn the wasps out. don't ask how i know, but it is possible for wasps to catch on fire and then attack you, leaving burns and stings all over your body, and burning down a good portion of your flower bed as well as arm hair.

Jeebus. Guess I'll go with the cricket bat, then. They won't know what hit them.
