Instructions for Use:

🧪 Homemade Long-Lasting Wasp Repellent

🧴 Ingredients:

• Blonde beer (wasps love the smell)
• 2 tablespoons of grenadine or blackcurrant syrup (sweet and fruity)
• 1 tablespoon of white wine vinegar (repels bees, which are less attracted to acids)
• 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar (provides a good sweet base that ferments slowly)

🧑🍳 Preparation:

1. Pour all ingredients into the Bonne Maman jam jar
2. Mix gently to avoid excessive foaming
3. Place the trap 2 meters from your table, preferably in the shade

🧠 Why it Works:

• Beer + syrup: very attractive odor for wasps
• Vinegar: keeps bees away, which we want to protect
• Light fermentation: the mixture continues to release odors even after several days

⏳ Effectiveness Duration:

• 3 to 5 days without problems in mild weather
• Change or refill after a week if it is hot or after rain

🧼 Bonus Tip:

• If you want the wasps to drown more easily, add a drop of dish soap: it breaks the surface tension of the water, they cannot float
