Mud Daubers and Cicada Killers usually will not sting unless you touch them or get them caught in your clothes. The various chemical poisons on the market can be more harmful to you and your bulldog when used in controlling the various species of wasps. Some states have restrictions on the use of certain pesticides. If you haven't yet been convinced to use more natural forms of control, it's important to check with your State and or local Extension Service to learn what regulations must be followed. The various traps that are on the market are quite good, but expensive.
Homemade traps are just as good, cost next to nothing and are simple to make.
They can be a fun and useful craft project with children. I've tried several wasp bait products on the market, and yet find one to work as well as my homemade method. Place trap next to water. Bait trap with tuna or canned cat food. Workers from hives, be they bees, wasps or yellow jackets are female and all are attracted to sweet fruity scents.
