[Rhodes22-list] More On Poptop "Security"

[John Lock]

Before you go the insecticide route, try dryer sheets (aka fabric 
softener).  You can stick these up wherever and they do seem to 
discourage wasps from building.  I know they work for paper wasps and I 
depend on them to keep nests out of my boat.  Wherever I put the dryer 
sheets, I don't get mud daubers either.
