Does anyone know a way to prevent wasps from nesting under my TREX deck?

Is there something I can wash my deck down with that will run between the spaces and uder the boards and discourage wasps from nesting under the boards?

I can not get underneath the deck, must do it from the top only, thanks.

I've had people swear by the Waspinator. It's sold at our local farm store but I've never tried it myself. It works on the belief that wasps don't like to make nests near other wasps and supposedly works up to 20'.

I've also heard that WD 40 will drive them off but I've never heard of anything but the waspinator preventing them from building them in the first place.
