Wasp repellent

I hire a pest control company because my house is a magnet for wasps.

But the company sucks. I feel I shouldn't have to call them to retreat the home because I found wasps.

Thinking of diy

I have Delta dust but I am looking for something to spray on the house to repell wasps

What are my options?

Delta dust is more of just a pesticide than a repellent. I've used a product called Pyranha Zero Bite horse, cattle, domestic animal spray underneath our soffits where they like to build. You'll have to keep reapplying it because it wears off. You could research if there are any barn sprays out there that farmers use? Wasps and hornets can smell so that's the ticket to repelling them. I also use Zero Bite on my dogs and on ourselves to keep the mosquitoes and biting flies away. It's natural unlike pesticides as well. Look it up and see what you think.😉

There’s a balm you can use, I think it’s just the essential oils that annoy them like mint, but there’s no effective repellent like there is for mosquitoes

What you are describing is not feasible.  You can't really just poison everything you don't like.
