And then you let it run for the rest of the season? ;-)

I understand that aggressive German yellow jackets have taken over in
Ohio - I'm familiar with the eastern ones which are calm, and the
ones I met in Scotland were likewise (but we needed the extra jam,
they simply wouldn't leave us alone at one particular place until we
put some out for them a couple tables over).
