Yesterday I saw the first Queen wasp of the year, normally they don't

I know that wasps will feed on a lot of aphids and other pests, but I
react badly to their stings so I try not to let any nest on our
property.
We get enough visiting ones.

David, how do you ensure they don't nest? I had a very bad experience
in the garden about 5 years ago, where I was stung multiple times and
chased into the house by a horde of them after I poured Jeyes fluid
into their nest in a bank.

Well you can't blame them realy can you! :-)
