During summer, wasps often intrude on gatherings. Experts suggest against running away, as it may provoke the wasp. Maintaining calmness and minimizing carbon dioxide release is crucial. Typically, visiting wasps are yellowjackets and German wasps searching for food for their larvae. To deter wasps, one can offer food they prefer, slightly away from the main meal. Observing wasp feeding habits reveals insights into their colony’s needs, indicating their maturation phase in late summer. Providing food can allow for peaceful dining.
If you start flapping and shouting, you are behaving like a predator. This might trigger the wasp's attack mode. Keeping your mouth closed and avoiding heavy breathing helps minimize carbon dioxide release, which wasps use to detect predators.
To keep wasps away, provide a 'wasp offering' by sharing a portion of food they prefer, slightly moving it away from your meal. Letting the wasp have her share can allow you to dine in peace.
