But it doesn’t have to be this way; there are ways to keep them at bay.&nbsp; There are gentler, and smarter ways to make them buzz off. Essential oils are a great place to start. Scents like lemongrass, cloves, and lavender are natural wasp deterrents. What about when you're having a barbecue? But aren’t we supposed to protect wasps?
