Ok, they are here. Give me your best wasp trap ideas so they pay less attention to my garden meal times.
To start you off:

Put out sliced cucumber, This vegetable has an acid property that wasps don't like. Cut up a few slices and leave around your picnic or BBQ area. They stay away and you can enjoy your outdoor activities without fear of getting stung.
Hang up a crumpled brown paper bag. Wasps are territorial so they will not make a nest where one already exist. To give the illusion of a wasp nest crumple up a small brown grocery bag, attach a string, and hang near your doors. They cannot tell if it's truly a nest but they seem to trust what they see. Their instincts will kick in and they will go away.
Just a few extra ideas

Having researched this in the past, the best way to get rid of wasps is to buy a fake nest and hang it up. You can get them on the Internet and they don't cost a great deal. I don't know why more businesses don't have them, especially pubs....

Honey traps.
I'm really concerned about the lack of ladybirds - we had plenty last year, but not one this year. The aphids have gone mad.

For us ladybirds started to appear at exactly the same time as the wasps.. about three or four days ago.

Get a 2 litre bottle of pop and empty it! Cut around the shoulder and invert the top into the bottle. Add beer, vinegar, jam. Voila - wasps can get in but not out...
