I pretty much leave the wasps here alone unless they build their paper nests right by the front door or inside my carport really close to the car.
Of course so many wasps are pollinators so I don't care to go around killing wasps.
They're kind of like birds; some birds are seed eaters as adults but feed insects to their babies, wasps take nectar as food and catch and stun insects to feed their babies.
It's easy enough to clean up the paper nests at the end of the season. I will say that needs to be done, because some enterprising moths will move into an empty paper nest and make it a lot bigger.,
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.
