believe that nature will tend to defeat you one way or another whatever
you do. Just keep struggling, and remember we are part of nature too.

True.
If it is like that then do something.
Simply though, I hate the people who kill them just for the sake of it (because they are wasps and they are evil you know).
Do you know that hoverflies that have the right markings can go into wasp nests and start to eat the larvae??
If Mr and Mrs general public knew that, then I bet they wouldn't be so hostile to the flies and other beasties that do the same.
If the wasps are a genuine problem to you though.....
I just tend to treat each animal as an equal, so I don't think I would kill them, but I don't know what else there would be to do (my main area of interest lies with moths and small flies you see).
