Hey everyone - we've got some paper wasps that have been trying to get (and have gotten in) under our cover through the gap where it folds. I just noticed them yesterday and they had started to build a nest (very early stage). So I opened up the cover and that scared them away for a bit. I also mixed peppermint oil and water in a spray bottle and sprayed around the entire tub and cover. All good through last night, but then this morning we noticed they were back. Same spot too.
Any ideas of how to get rid of them permanently? I don't want to spray them with wasp killer as I don't want that to go into my water. I did setup a DIY trap out of a plastic 2 liter with lemonade at the bottom to try and trap them. But curious if others have this issue and what they do about it.
