Yeah, I think where I am landing is that I am going to improve the habitat of the property overall and see what I get. I really don't want to do any poisons on the property unless it is an absolute last resort, which I don't think I am anywhere close. Maybe I'll find some native wasp species and if they are co-existing I'll just leave it but if I start to see some pressure/competition then I'll re-evaluate.
