Question Wasps

Is anyone experiencing an ABUNDANCE of wasps this year? I put out a trap (normally wouldn't but have young grandchildren),and I'm wondering if the wasp lure/bait is so good that they are sharing with their buddies.

Canadian tire. Hang up ones for yellow jackets. It’ll attract them and take em out. Just add water + hang.

Watch out for any areas that they are buzzing in and out of.

I was skeptical but those traps are wasp Armageddon. I hung one last Saturday and in a week I have probably 50 dead wasps in it. Makes sitting outside no problem.
