We have lots of them East of the mountains. I have thought that there were fewer of them the last couple of years, for unknown reasons. I put out wasp traps early to try to capture queens, but of course I never get them all.
They tend to be vicious any time you disturb or get close to an active nest. But when they are really bad is in August and September when it gets dry and they start having trouble finding food sources.
