Queen wasps? Where did I put that pyrethrin spray?

shouldn't kill them they do a lot of good


If they leave me alone, I leave them alone. But they don't (3 nests under
the tiles in 8 years. You try keeping windows closed in summer to keep
wasps out of the house)

At best wasps are neutral to the environment. They eat anything they can
kill, to feed their young as well as themselves.


Like Man.

That includes good invertebrates as well as bad.


Good? Bad?

If they disappeared from the earth tomorrow the ecosystem wouldn't
notice - other predators would take up the slack.


Like Man.

But if bees disappeared, that's another thing altogether...
