 I have them in my garden. Well, not IN my garden but they do fly into i
and then into my kitchen and they scare the hell out of me.

I can i get them to stay away

Short answer - no

Long answer - noooo

They look pretty fierce, but they have an undeserved reputation - and
they appear to be quite docile as long as you leave them alone.

Be philosophical - they beat having crap neighbours hands down.

Try having a sarracenia aka North American pitcher plant in your kitchen.
They are very efficient insect catchers, and some are very good at catching
wasps and hornets, especially sarracenia alata or sarracenia leucophylla.
They thrive on sunny windowsills and are pretty easy to grow.

Half a bottle of Newcastle Brown Ale in a jam jar has the same effect
and is far easier to propagate.

 

So very true, but at this time of year there's also a lot of last years wasp
queens looking for nesting sites, are you sure it's not just one of those
???
