Wasps primarily prey on caterpillars, but they also drink nectar, sweet water, colas, etc. This is what they are after on your plum tree (nectar, not cola), unless you have some sort of infestation. There are a number of harmless oils that would probably do the trick. Wasps away from the nest are much less likely to sting, but they will sting if they get trapped in your clothing or otherwise stressed Elliot Richmond Freelance Science Writer and Editor |

The savage wasps will attack anything that smells like you, so the chances are they'll sting each other to death in the rush to get to you first ... Best wishes Helga Walters (Housekeeper) |

Best wishes Helga Walters (Housekeeper) Eeeew..... you're brave. I always chase them off with a smoldering piece of newspaper, then look for their nest and burn it, too. They hate smoke and will fly away when they smell it. But they'll come back if you don't get their nest. Maggie |
