It's that time again when nuisance yellowjackets are making an appearance and making outdoor dining a little less comfortable with their threat to sting. But, you can successfully deter these social wasps by using just one plant: mint.
It's one of the easiest and most natural ways to get rid of yellowjackets because these pesky bugs can't stand the scent and essential oils of several mint varieties. By carefully positioning mint plants around your seating area, you can discourage their presence. It can be as simple as placing this peppermint plant from Walmart on your outdoor table.
