The daubers are always at the tubes on my wind chimes and in the garage we had to cover the nozzle opening of the fire extinguisher with tinfoil.

Apparently they do sell wasp larvae at ag supply stores, particularly ones with a large equine section.  In Minnesota you might be too north for the wasp's range though.  But you could probably get them to live in summer, just expect to buy new larvae each season.
