Is your wooden deck attracting wasps?

yes! How do I get rid of them???? We have a huge wooden deck with a pool and the stinking wasps are not only annoying, they are aggresive and sting often! We have tried wasp traps (waste of money) - anyone know how to get rid of them or what to treat the deck with to repel them?
