	Our house is like a magnet to wasps we have had a few nests in the attic over the last few years and don't know how to deter them. Any help with this will be great thanks.

	I found this: Pest-repellent plants are known to keep wasps away due to their pungent smell. Plants like Peppermint, spearmint, basil, eucalyptus, cloves, geranium, thyme citronella, and lemongrass are wasp repellent. They suggest growing them in the garden, but you could spray the smell, or put dried plants where they tend to nest.
