Do they have to be crocheted or are there other ways to make them? We always get wasps under our eves and they try to get in the house. I always learn something new from your blog!

The results are always beautiful. <br />I recently read about using a paper bag "nest" to discourage wasps, but crocheting is more fun.

I made him open it and they were starting a nest on the rubber seal! Then I saw one go into my gas tank door. He opened it and they were starting a nest attached to the little door!
