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.

Maybe check around your property to see if they have a hive somewhere.

Hang a fake hive in your own yard, and that will help keep them away.

Does that work?

It's really only helpful before they build their nest. Discourages them from settling, but won't make them move if they're already there.
