User's notes
There have been European wasps around home for a number of years. This year numbers seemed to have increased around my bird baths. I bought a couple of wasp traps that I set near the bird baths and within 48 hours had trapped over a hundred with some still visiting the bird baths. Numbers have dropped off but am still trapping some. No idea where the nest is.
