The wasps have come out in flocks this past week, maybe due to our warmer than normal temps. Also have some hornets (which I normally don't see too much). They're invading my little 6 x 10 GH maybe looking for a new seasonal home. It's a little too close for comfort to work in the GH with them buzzing around and I don't want to use killing sprays inside the GH. Are there any effective traps to draw them away from the GH? TIA

Hi Cindy! I hung a fake hornet nest in my greenhouse last year to discourage wasps/hornets, and it worked fine. Garden centers should stock them, if not, try the garden section at your hardware store.
June - thanks for that tip! Every summer I end up with small paper nests in the GH. Since the plants are out of the GH by then, I do spray the nest. But working alongside them in a closed small space is a little distracting. Don't mind bees because they generally won't sting but I don't trust those other guys.
