I've just done my annual walk around with fly spray. The Asian wasp queens are coming out of hibernation and are on the north facing walls and fences right now. Every wasp sprayed now is a whole nest that never happens. We leave the ones near the vege garden to help control the pests there, but deal to all the rest to reduce their impact on all the good insects in the rest of the garden. There will always be a few that get missed but doing this now does seem to keep a good overall balance.
