How to Prevent Bees and Wasps Around the Pool This Summer

Your backyard pool is an oasis in the summertime!  It’s a great water source that is often surrounded by luscious landscaping, which provides a shady oasis for pests and flowery food sources. Because of this, pools are notorious for attracting pests, especially flying ones like bees and wasps.  So, what can you do to keep your pool bee and wasp free for the summer?

DIY is only short term solution

If you look, you can find a number of DIY “quick fixes” for how to keep bees away from your pool area, but there tend to be problems with each approach.  Many of them only last a day or two and require continuous maintenance or only provide moderate relief from your bee or wasp problem. In one form or another, all of these DIY solutions take time, money, and energy. Unfortunately, DIYs are rarely completely effective, which often means you will still find yourself battling bees and wasps. If they target both types of insects, you may also find yourself killing beneficial bees that you just want to keep away from your yard.
