Experience with Ground Wasps? [View all]

[NJCher]

Five bites. Nasty, but not that bad. I was clearing out a raised bed on the far end of my garden, and was digging away when I first felt the bites. Having had experience with this before (1998, though!), I ran like hell and saved myself from more grief. Looked back and saw an angry swarm above the raised bed.

So the question is, I don't want to give up that bed to them for the summer, so how do I get rid of them?

I looked on youtube and Amazon. Found some traps I could order, but youtube has some ideas for making similar types of traps.

I'm not sure traps are the way to go, though.

Too bad the RG is traveling California this month. He just loves doing battle with wasps. Must take him back to his childhood, or something, as he gets a look like a kid setting firecrackers on his face when he engages with them. He usually smokes 'em out somehow. I don't have the nerve.

So if you've ever gotten rid of some ground wasps, let me know your experience.
