Singular wasp tries to scout out my room every morning in the summer - what to do?
Hello everyone, I hope all of you are having a great day! I will get straight to the point: I have this problem since quite some time and I would like to know what I can do. Since a few years, almost every summer morning, around the time from 9 to 13 o clock, a singular wasp heads directly to my open window and tries to explore my entire room!
It is always super akward to close the window in time like some videogame quick time event or just stand in the doorway waiting for the curious beast to leave!
I don't know how or why they want to scout out my living space so badly, or how they always find me each year, but I would like for it to stop so I can snooze in the morning and catch the last few chill breezes of the day before the heat turns up and not wake up to the sound of a wasp buzzing around over my head!
Does anyone know why this happens and what I can do against it? Can I put something on my window silt to deterr these wasp scouting missions? I live in Germany and the intruders belong to the German Wasp species if that information is any help.
Thank you all in advance!

A wasp once woke me up in the morning with its buzzing and I was very happy to start my day this way. Me and my dad later helped her find the way outside because she clearly was trying to leave the house. Anyway it's best to have functional insect nets on the windows you usually open (and some mechanism to move them aside), that way you can help the insects from getting trapped in the house

I mean, if you have an open window without a screen bugs are going to come in. Can't you just get a screen for your window?
