When we in swedeb talk about hated wasps it's usually

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_hornet

Or

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespula_vulgaris

Which are usually hated with a burning passion by many people. I'm allergic to their sting (enough to make me a bit dizzy by only one sting and a trip to ER if I accidently mess with a nest) so I really don't want them around but they are so common it's hard to combat.

Edit: The European Hornet is less of an issue since they are mostly a danger when you are close to the hive, but the other one is a bother all summer
