Wasps: Muddabbers and Yellow Jackets
Seems like the general opinion is that wasps are carnivourous. Well, I must
have some meaty Redhaven Peaches, as wasps were all over them gorging
themselves.
My method was to put up wasp traps and bait them with a little apple juice. I
was
emptying these traps daily when the tree was full of peaches. If you can find
the nest, destroy it with the proper sprays.

Damnation and Brimstone!
These pests are raiding my beef steak, Brandywine, and cherry toms!
They're also doing a number on my brand new basil and what's left of my
chives! Besides bring out the Big Bertha cannon (Ortho's
will-shoot-25-feet-with-dead-eye-precision power-spray oil), is there a
more natural, less catastrophic, method of sending these pest on their
way? (The oil is very affective but it kills anything it hits.)
