How to get rid of wasps forever. In the fall, wasps and hornets can destroy a weak bee colony or division in a matter of days if the apiary isn't protected promptly. Attacks by wasps, hornets, and philanthus (ground wasps) lead to the plundering of food supplies, the death of bees, and the spread of diseases throughout the hives. This video discusses simple and effective protection methods: a DIY baitless wasp trap made from a plastic bottle, safe baits based on fermented jam and boric acid, and methods for reducing hive entrances and nests in the fall.
