Mix clove, geranium, and lemongrass oil to make a natural repellent. Fill a spray bottle with water and add a few drops of each essential oil into the bottle. Shake it up well to mix it and spray the areas outside your home where hornets like to build nests such as under your eaves, porch roof, and any other ledges.
What smell do hornets hate?
It's easy– wasps and hornets HATE the scent of peppermint oil. Mix a tablespoon of peppermint oil with four cups of water, and you've got a powerful repellent spray; it's even effective enough to drive the wasps and hornets from their nests, but without dangerous chemicals.
