Here in the area of Maryland, I haven't seen as many wasps this year as in prior years.
I usually have to contend with at least a couple of places on the property where I have to intercede and remove a nest (hive?) but not this year.
But then we do have a lingering problem with an invasive species that - as far as I know - has nothing to do with wasps... lantern flies. Why they would be around in numbers and wasps simply 'gone' I have no idea.
I believe I have only seen one wasp all season... maybe they found it better where you live and are all migrating there... blame climate change... everyone else does. Not that it helps anything.
I once heard that if you set up a bird feeder nearby, the wasps will move away... I can't vouch for that... it might just be an urban legend.
