How to Identify Wasps

Wasps have slender bodies with a narrow waist, distinguishing them from bees. They come in various colors, including black, yellow, and brown, often with striped patterns. Their smooth bodies lack the dense hair seen on bees. Wasps also have long legs and distinctive wings that fold along their backs when at rest. Their nests vary by species, ranging from paper-like structures in trees or underground burrows. If disturbed, wasps can be aggressive, so identifying them early helps in proper management.

Yellowjackets

Yellowjackets are small, 1/2 to 1 inch long, with black and yellow banded abdomens and six legs. They build paper carton nests in trees, buildings, eaves, attics, or underground and feed on sweets and proteins. Highly social, their colonies can reach 4,000 members, becoming most active and aggressive in late summer. Though usually slow to sting, they attack aggressively if threatened, delivering multiple painful stings, unlike bees.

Paper Wasps

Paper wasps are social insects that build distinctive paper-like nests by chewing wood fibers and mixing them with saliva. Commonly found in gardens and wooded areas, they are valuable pollinators and natural pest controllers, feeding on caterpillars and other insects. Though their appearance may seem intimidating, they are generally non-aggressive unless provoked.

Bald-face Hornets

Bald-faced hornets are black-bodied insects with distinct white faces, known for their large, paper-like nests hanging from trees or building eaves. Unlike other stinging insects, they do not reuse their nests each year. These social creatures form colonies of 100 to 400 members, becoming most active in late summer. Though aggressive when threatened, they are actually closely related to yellowjackets and wasps, despite their name.

What Are the Signs of a Wasp Infestation?

Facing a wasp infestation can be a serious threat to you, your family, your employees, and your property. Wasps are notoriously aggressive, and their stings can be quite painful. It is crucial to identify the signs of a wasp infestation as early as possible.

  • Visible Nests: One of the most obvious signs of a wasp infestation is the presence of wasp nests in and around your home. These nests can be located in attics, sheds, bushes, and other areas where wasps can find shelter.
  • Increased Wasps: If you’re noticing an increase in the number of wasps around your home, it could be a sign that there’s a wasp infestation.
  • Stinging Incidents: If you or a family member have been stung by a wasp, it could be a sign that there’s a nest nearby.
  • Wasps Near Entrances: If you’re noticing wasps near the entrance to your home or other buildings on your property, it could be a sign of a wasp infestation.
