I find WD-40 or Hoppe’s number 9 works on wasps or hornets.

WD-40 comes in a spray can, but Hoppe’s is more romantic.

Try some Gunk engine degreaser (not the foaming kind, the other), on those wasps!

They literally stop moving and drop the instant it hits them.

Hoppe's is a male aphrodisiac.
I saw once where it was used as a truck 'air freshener', hanging from the rear view mirror , and everybody wanted one !

I used to work in an auto parts store machine shop. We tried a lot of the different sprays available (including WD-40), but what we found to be the best was "Gunk Engine Brite," which appeared to dissolve wasp wings on contact. They'd just drop out of the air once hit.
