As much as I dislike killing wasps, I do those.
They are just too aggressive.

I'm very much a "live and let live" sort of person. I make an exception
for most bugs that come into the house. I send my husband to do battle
with the red buggers when they try to set up housekeeping in my eaves or
the shed.

I make exceptions for fire ants, mosquitos and weevils too. <g>

I used to kill them indiscriminately until I saw one take out the tomato
horn worms eating up my plants. I only do the ones in human activity
areas now.

As noted in my "Ouch" post, I found some in the wellhouse. The nest was on
inside of the door. One came out immediately and stung my right upper ear.
I did swatting battle with 2 of them for a bit. Managed to swat one to the
ground and stomp on it. The other fleed elsewhere. I removed the nest.

I have a bunch of red wasps around my house and my wife and I call them "pet
wasps" because they're so docile. I usually even have a few that follow me
around when I cut the grass - I guess looking for bugs that the mower
stirs-up. One day last spring, there were several in a shrub that I was
trimming. They came flying out as I neared with the trimmers, flew to a near
by lawn chair and perched like birds on the top of the chair until I was
finished and then flew right back to the area I just finished trimming. I've
never been stung by any of these guys...of I guess girls after reading the
TAMU info.

Agreed, they live and let live. Unless you stumble upon their actively used
nest, which is normally hidden from sight.
