Wasp Identification & Prevention
What are wasps?
Wasps are a type of stinging insect. The majority of wasps have smooth stingers, enabling them to deliver multiple stings to any person or animal they view as a threat. What a wasp looks like depends on its species, but most wasps have pinched waists, two pairs of wings, and six legs that hang down when in flight. They are typically black, or a combination of black and white, yellow, or orange. Wasps are either social, living together in large groups, or solitary, living on their own. These stinging insects play many eco-important roles; some species are responsible for pollinating flowers and crops, while others are predators and help to control populations of nuisance insects.
Are wasps dangerous?
Wasp venom is strong enough to cause health threats to people, making them dangerous pests to have near your home. Wasp stings are painful and cause a burning sensation that may linger for many hours. Wasp stings result in a raised red swelling that lasts for hours or days. Additionally, if a person is sensitive to their venom, they may experience a serious allergic reaction or life-threatening anaphylaxis. Wasps tend to be quick to anger, and most won’t hesitate to defend themselves or colony if threatened.
Why do I have a wasp problem?
Wasps will create a nest on any property that offers them a suitable location close to food sources. Most wasps like to build their nests in places that offer protection. Wasps hunt a variety of garden insects and spiders. They also feed on other sources of protein and sugary liquids. Common places they forage for food include gardens, trash or compost bins, and outdoor eating area; unfortunately, almost any yard can become a home to wasps.
