You can use bug killer type sprays, but what works best is cooking oil spray like PAM. Those little buggers hate getting it on their feet and will not build a nest there if they can't land on the area.
I use this for my hummingbird feeders, and they stay away.

I have heard that there are fake plastic wasp nests that you can buy. These will deter real wasps from building nearby.
You need to find out what kind of wasps they are. Paper wasps usually do not return to the same site twice. I would try putting something greasy like nivea or vaseline. (cover chair with a towel when you want to sit on it!) I think there are better answers but I don't know them!! Cheers.

Spray some poison bug spray around that chair... Keep those wasps out.
Perhaps a cover (plastic or canvas) for the chair? They might be able to get under the cover, but if it's too difficult for them, they'll just find a different spot...

You are, I think, talking about a kind of wasp called "Mud Dauber".
I grew up with them in the woods of Texas. I live in Hollywood now and just when I started having trouble with my landlady, a Mud Dauber began building her nest inside my screeen door. I considered this a great blessing and compliment that this creature liked my energy enough to build her nest in my space. In Shamanic lore wasps are considered good energy for communal living. I won the case against my landlady and send her blessings and release. Good luck living at peace with your fellow creatures.

Yeah I would hose it down then spray it with wasp spray. Try covering it at night with plastic or something. Eventually they will stoop coming around. I had one in my garage and I sprayed it continuously until they the wasp gave up!

Get some malathion & spray the nest at night. When the wasps are dead, remove the nest.

Why don't you try these....
1.try changing the place of the chair
2. Coat your chair with kerosene. Wasps are allergic to it.
3. If you are also allergic to it try coating turmeric powder to your chair.

I recommend spraying your deck and chair with liquid seven or malathion. Do this weekly for a while.

Spray them with wasp killer. You'll need to kill the offending wasps, then you should be ok.
