I don't like wasps (aversion to being stung, which can happen how ever
careful you are)

Yes, it can happen even with great care. But I wouldn't kill all - or any -
wasps just in case I was stung. It doesn't make sense.

I didn't kill honey bees in 25 years of beekeeping either - even though I
sometimes had a general reaction to their stings too.

Hello Mary. We have wasps building a nest in our next-door neighbour's
roof at present. I can see them flying in and out just above the window
of my office. As I understand it, their story is fascinating, to say
the least, with two females being impregnated in autumn and then all the
males dying off, leaving the said two females to start a new nest.

Er - how many can you see flying in and out?

Hmm. It's not quite like that.

I'll mail you.

The building starts in spring & only become a pest in autumn, when they
get ****ed on rotten fruit.
