Yellow Jackets eating my concord grapes

I'd rather not spray but I'm quickly losing my fruit to yellow jackets. Suggestions?

I have had some luck protecting tree fruits and raspberries by enclosing fruits and trusses in plastic ventilated berry and other fruits containers that snap on. It’s best to treatfungal disease-prone ones first - This year I’m using potassium carbonate

You could also try nylon knee-highs but they would probably get the outermost ones through the knit fabric.

...I’ve used large organza drawstring gift bags for grapes in the past to keep out ants — usually stocked in wedding and party supply section
