Not really. I've found the wasp traps to work at keeping them down to reasonable numbers without crazy chemicals or threatening bees.
I thought it sounded too easy, but every article i read said it worked.
Any specific brand/style of trap you would recommend? I'd like to keep the bees for my trees and garden if possible and I'd rather save chemicals for an absolute last resort
It doesn't really matter which brand. They are yellow wasp traps sold at hardware stores. They use a little cotton disc soaked in attractant that lasts 4-6 weeks. The only issue is having to empty out the trap periodically. I think there's a WHO brand.
