Wasps are bad news if they have camped in your home. These small-sized assailants are extremely dangerous and can cause you insufferable pain and allergy with their venom filled stings. North American homes are mostly infested by 4 types of wasps that are also common in other parts of the world. Here we will describe their nesting habits and how they can disrupt your daily activities. If you are already infested by any of the above mentioned wasps’ species you should call for help like BBPP, most efficient wasps nest removal Vaughan and get rid of the infestation.

TYPES OF WASPS

YELLOW JACKET

These look very similar to bees in size and have black and yellow stripes around the middle. Like other wasps yellow jackets too have disjointed looking upper and lower body parts, joined only by a wisp of a waist. Yellow jacket wasps build nests in hidden places like underground tunnels, basement, burrows vacated by rodents, tree trunks and wall cavities. In a nest you may find thousands of them living in a series of honeycomb cells. Yellow jackets are ill tempered and will attack you without any provocation. If you have them at home you should give a wide berth to them. Worker wasps are about half an inch long and the queen can be between ¾ and 1-inch.

PAPER WASPS

Paper wasps are similar looking excepting in color combination. They are brownish with yellow marking around the body and some species have reddish markings. They are social wasps and can grow up to 3/4th inch. They make nests by collecting wood scraps and mixing them with their saliva and their nests look like umbrella hung upside down. Their nests are honeycombed and may accommodate 200-500 wasps in multiple papers like nests. They are not as aggressive as yellow jackets, but will sting if you disturb their nest.

HORNETS

In Canada you will see mostly bald faced hornets which are black with white strips and with no hair on their face Hornets are larger species of wasps that can grow more than an inch in different environment. Hornets build nests in lofty places and you can see globular nests hanging from trees, or buildings. Hornets are less aggressive but with their size advantage they can inject more venom by their stings.

MUD-DAUBER WASPS

These are solitary wasps with hair like waist connecting the head and tail. They build nests with mud made of dirt and their saliva and they are mostly solitary cells that look like pipes or animal horn. These are harmless wasps that will go away if you scrap their mud nests from your walls, window frames and other places. They are stee blue or black in color and are harmless wasps that wil move away and build nests elsewhere instead of defending the existing nest. These are single cell nests that house a larvae and dead spider.
