Arlena had problems with wasps around her house and she says this season was especially bad.
" The moisture came at the right time to make the wasp population explode."
But she was hesitant to use a pesticide to solve the problem.
"People don't realize those pesticide go into the ground water and then they get into the water supply."
So she took a natural approach to ride her house of the pests. First step was to remove the wasps.
"Using simple soap you can take dishwasher soap and a cup full of water and mix it in a container."
In this case, Arlena used a water pistol.
"Throw it on the wasps nests and the wasps immediately fall and the suffocate instantly."
Once empty, discard the nest and replace it with a fake one.
" They don't come back and build nests, you can make one out of paper mache. Take a ballon and put paper mache around it and let it dry."
Arlena says this method worked well for her.
"Well actually it pretty simple pretty straightforward."
