Silk plants, ugh.

The beer works wonders. However, I once saw a wasp cut a big piece off of a leaf on my bell pepper plant. I'm convinced they did the bulk of the fatal damage to those and certain other plants I have. We get tons of wasps and our tangerine tree attracts even more of them. I believe they eat tiny bugs that live on the tree so it's all a tradeoff. I have no idea how to repel them anyway.
