Notably, the lavender essential oil repels the wasps from the surrounding or the garden. Wasps have a strong sense of smell. They use their sense of smell and search for food sources. But the lavender oil smell seems toxic to them, so they keep it away.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you use lavender oil or plant lavender in your garden, it will not attract the wasps. Instead, it will repel them from the garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can plant the lavender in the middle and let the air spread the lavender smell.
