I totally get you. I don't let them build IN the garden. They have to be outside of it and in a place my kids won't mess with them. And you are CORRECT, later in the season when there are fewer worms and caterpillars to snack on, they go for the sweets. I'm picky with how I will co-exist with them...but they can be a beneficial bug.

I had one in my compost pile one year. What a nightmare!
They don't normally bother you unless you are within a certain distance to their nest so I don't actively try to kill them unless the nest is within that danger zone.
