[Rhodes22-list] More On Poptop "Security"

[peter klappert]

John--Good suggestion. I'll try it. I don't like insecticides either--not the smell, not the enviroinmental price. 

Wonder what bugs them about dryer sheets?!

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.
