In Texas anyway:
Paper wasps are less aggressive than yellowjackets. (Real yellowjackets that is...many people call anything remotely wasplike a "yellowjacket" or "bee") But, they are definatley agressive if you get near their nest.
Mud daubers, on the other hand, are non-aggressive. You have to try to get them to sting.
Anyway, there are two kinds of wasp traps. The pheremone based ones are the most effective, but they tend to work only on actual yellowjackets. If you have paper wasps, they won't do much good. The "food scent" type will work on paper wasps, but so-so. Keep in mind that the traps will attract the wasps, so put the traps near the area you want to keep wasp-free, but not right there in the middle of it.
