At this time of year wasps are unlikely to sting. It's in the Autumn when they get drunk on ripe fruit that they turn nasty.

I've had a lot of them coming into the house lately and I just open the window and let them out. They can be beneficial in the garden as they do a bit of pollinating like bees.

I always put a jam-jar in the garden from about August onwards. I put a bit of jam in the bottom and half fill it with water then put cling film over the top with 2 or 3 holes punched in it. The wasps go in through the holes, attracted by the jam, but can't get out again.
