My apologies if this is recently trod ground... I'm not
a regular reader.

I have a wasp problem.  On warm afternoons, a small congregation
(about a half-dozen to a dozen) of wasps (Mud Daubers, I think)
gathers on my porch.  I cannot find any nesting activity, and the
local extension service has no other suggestions.

Is this sort of "hanging out" behavior typical?  Are they choosing
the porch as a shady spot while raiding rotting fruit in the
backyard?  Can I talk them into leaving?

Any help appreciated.  Please respond by e-mail.
