What naturally kills wasp?

If you're looking for a natural way to kill the wasps versus just sending them away, create a spray combining 3 tablespoons lemon extract and 1 cup of water. Saturate the nest with the mixture at night or spray it directly onto the wasps while wearing protective clothing.
