I'm quite happy to discourage them from establishing nests earlier in the season where I don't want them, but they seem quite innocuous (as long as they're not on my favourite ladder, of course) otherwise. And their empty nests at the end of the season are wonders to behold.

<pre wrap="">Hi again,
Doug - I agree with you, but when the wasps nests are in the archway
and under the umbrella on the deck where my wife and I and our 18/12
old granddaughter go, then nature has to temporarily take a back seat!
I forgot to mention that we have also tried the artificial nests, and
they do encourage the wasps to build a few yards farther away.

Fine advice for a naturalist group! Does anyone know what benefits paper wasps might contribute to the ecosystem? I'm quite happy to discourage them from establishing nests earlier in the season where I don't want them, but they seem quite innocuous (as long as they're not on my favourite ladder, of course) otherwise. And their empty nests at the end of the season are wonders to behold.
