Learn to make a quick and easy wasp nest decoy to keep away those pesky bugs! Crochet decoys work because wasps will not inhabit another wasp’s nest, so they see the decoy and stay away. I’ve had mine up for 2 years now and no longer have any wasp issues!

You will need:
-Either two strands of size 4 yarn held together or a size 5 yarn.
