I spent the whole weekend watching (and listening) to my new roof being put on - wow, those guys work hard!  Anyway, as they ripped up the two layers of old shingles, I watched the guys pull and run -turns out there was a wasp nest at almost every corner of my house under the old shingles.  Now I know where they were all coming from last year - couple of times the wasps chased us off the deck and back into the house during dinner. 

Last year a good friend told me about an old trick - wasps are very territorial (so he said) , so get a couple of paper bags and make them into something that looked like a wasp nest - hang it up around you deck and it keeps the wasps at bay.  Well, just as I was about to figure out how to do this, along came an new product here at The Shopping Channel - the Original Waspinator.  Fashioned to look exactly like a wasp nest, I’ll be adding this to my deck, patio and backyard this week to make sure all those recently evicted wasps find a new home somewhere else!
