They commonly build nests on and around houses which can be a dangerous nuisance, especially if children are near.

| Pest Identification: Wasps | |
|---|---|
| Size | ¾ - 1½ inches |
| Color | Usually brown and red, sometimes yellow or blue. |
| Body structure | Head, thorax, abdomen, stinger, wings. |
| Characteristics | Wasps are commonly feared by humans because they are somewhat aggressive and have a painful sting. They are capable of emitting a pheromone that sends a stress signal to their nearby colony members which will result in defensive stinging. |
| Habitat & behavior | Wasps can be found in backyards, gardens, woodlands, and meadows. Wasps build and live in paper-like nests made from wood fibers that have been chewed into a pulp. They form colonies inside the nests. |
| Commonly active | Spring/Summer/Fall |
| Prevention & treatment | As mentioned above, wasps are an aggressive, stinging insect. They are especially dangerous because each wasp is capable of stinging a human more than once. Though there are store-bought wasp removals, we recommend calling a professional pest control company due to their aggressive nature. |
