How can I control wasps in my backyard?

Question
How can I control wasps in my backyard?

Answer

Make a solution of sugar and water and put it in a small margarine tub. Make a small hole in the lid, place the lid on top of the tub, and hang it in a tree. The wasps should be attracted to this trap rather than your picnic.
