Leaving a poisoned sweet food will kill much more than wasps which is
a real quandary so atm no ideas


Unless you have the proper bait, then you are far better to just trp the
foragers. Helps cut down on food supply and health of the hive.hopefully
the winter will kill them off.

I was under the impression in a cold winter they all most all die yet
this is not happening , a bowl of sugar and honey will attract them and
I am told there are poisons to suit BUT this will kill all the insects
that partake ...
