Should I Kill A Queen Wasp?
Killing a queen wasp can make sense in early spring when she is alone and building a nest near places people frequent, especially if someone nearby has a sting allergy. It is usually a poor choice once workers have emerged, when the nest is hard to reach, or when the wasps are away from human activity and pose little risk. The safest path depends on timing, location, your health risks, and whether you can act without provoking stings.
