Although wasps are beneficial to the environment, they are predatory insects. Look for these types:
. Yellow jacket – These resemble a honeybee but will not have the pollen on their back legs. They are aggressive.
. Bald face hornets – A hornet can grow up to two inches in size. Their nest can have 500 or more insects. They will sting repeatedly.
. Mud daubers – Solitary insects that prey on spiders, they are identified by their mud home.
. Paper wasps – You'll find this type under eaves. There may only be 10-15 in the nest, but their sting is painful.
An exterminator is your safest bet for treatment and control. Ask your specialist about prevention to make sure they don't come back. Getting rid of bees and wasps is a job that requires proper equipment and training to be performed safely, so call our professionals for assistance.
