She would sit for hours at the time swat and spray wasps. I'll bet you are enjoying yours! Hope to update later as to how it is working for me here. Good to hear from you...<br />DollyHIBISCUS HOUSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837055484501484003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725185168123342341.post-34801011041111366912017-02-05T08:31:19.004-05:002017-02-05T08:31:19.004-05:00I live in Iowa and used to have a horrid time with...I live in Iowa and used to have a horrid time with wasp nests. Those stinging little buggers would nest up under the eaves of the house. Well since my husband is allergic I wanted to find a solution. My handyman advised me that if you paint the underside of the eaves sky blue they won't build a nest there. Mine are painted that exact color and we haven't had a problem since. <br />Megan HaskinsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725185168123342341.post-49206994195309679202017-02-04T21:03:06.277-05:002017-02-04T21:03:06.277-05:00I sure do hope it does!I sure do hope it does!HIBISCUS HOUSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837055484501484003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725185168123342341.post-29641777673369703462017-02-04T20:47:21.193-05:002017-02-04T20:47:21.193-05:00While visiting a plantation in SC, the guide told ...While visiting a plantation in SC, the guide told us the blue porch ceiling keeps the wasps from building nests there.

I am going to enjoy it. Tonight I stepped out onto the porch as the sun was going down and it did seem as if the sky was above my head and the porch seemed larger.

Many homes in the northeast also have blue on the porch ceiling, I always thought it was just to resemble the sky. It is most common in older homes.<br /><br />DianaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11418664738436567497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725185168123342341.post-67725887236814527912017-01-24T10:05:06.706-05:002017-01-24T10:05:06.706-05:00Thank you Ginger Dawn!Thank you Ginger Dawn!HIBISCUS HOUSEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16837055484501484003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725185168123342341.post-17290834736400466902017-01-24T09:57:50.176-05:002017-01-24T09:57:50.176-05:00Really love the color and how this turned out!Really love the color and how this turned out!Ginger Dawn...A Spice Below The Horizonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06151203857889091939noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6725185168123342341.post-22867398605272185072017-01-23T20:14:05.776-05:002017-01-23T20:14:05.776-05:00Hey Kim,
