Wasps can build a nest surprisingly quick around your home and be difficult to relocate. This is a guide about keeping wasps away from your home.
To keep wasps and spiders from building their nests, paint your porch ceiling sky blue or a pale blue. This tricks the insects into thinking it's the sky. They won't build there.

Is there anything I can spray my porch with to repel wasps? I have had a hard time since we built it. They treated it with linseed oil if that helps. Sometimes there is a hundred at a time. No pest control people know what to use.

I've seen this used at a golf resort and the operators said it was useful! I copied this from the net. Hope it helps you!
Hang a crumpled brown paper bag. A natural wasp repellent to use is by preying on the fact that wasps are territorial so they will not make a nest where one already exists. To give the illusion of a wasp nest, crumple up a small brown grocery bag, attach a string, and hang near your doors. They cannot tell if it's truly a nest, but they seem to trust what they see. Their instincts will kick in and they will go away.
Can anyone help? I have a friend who is absolutely terrified of Wasps.
I live in a very wooded county of Indiana. Wasps are a constant problem. I have found a couple of ways to thwart wasps. I hang a hornets nest from last season or a gallon milk jug painted gray by entrances. This does not stop all activity, but does slow it down. I heard somewhere wasps fear hornets.
