How do you get rid of wasps around your pond?

Answer

I have had many garden ponds over the years with no wasp problem at all. However, after moving to a new neighborhood just north east of Toronto, we have been inundated with wasps coming for the water. We can only feed the fish late in the evening when the wasps retreat for the night. During the day, there will be no less than a couple of hundred wasps all getting water. Even if we sit back well from the pond, the traffic is much less than peaceful. I have tried to follow the route the wasps are using on their return flights to the nest, but to no avail. We have had no other choice but to cover the pond with fine mosquito netting, which is less than appealing to the eye.

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Cheer!
