That's seriously wrong and will have very unpredictable consequences, though probably all bad.
It's as poorly thought out as putting fine netting draped over trees to prevent birds nesting.
...Without wasps, the world could be overrun with spiders and insects. Each summer, social wasps in the UK capture an estimated 14 million kilogrammes of insect prey, such as caterpillars and greenfly. Perhaps we should be calling them a gardener's friend...

By all means, if it makes you feel safer (though I doubt it will actually make you any safer), put traps up this time of the year to catch what are now mostly delinquents with no home and a bad attitude, but absolutely not in spring time. Wasps and Hornets do much unseen but very beneficial work out there during spring time.
I think you posted about how they turn delinquent once their work is done and purpose served earlier in the thread, I love that description and often use it when people complain about wasps so thanks for that
Agree with traps from say late July, but my experience is before then, the only time we get disturbed is by queens looking for places to build a nest in the spring. If we do have a nest, then as long as it isn't directly above a door or in the shed, the the best thing to do is let it die and get rid in the winter. After seeing loads buzzing around under the roof one summer, I got a football sized one out of the loft in October - no sign of life at all.
After reading this, sounds like the basic rule is let them do their work and then feel free to trap them when they go rogue in late summer?
