Types of Wasps
In our market, four common types of wasps include Cicada Killers, Mud Daubers, Paper Wasps, and Yellow Jackets. Let’s explore their characteristics:
- Cicada Killers:
- Appearance: Resemble giant hornets or large yellow jackets.
- Aggressiveness: Somewhat aggressive but solitary, unlikely to sting unless directly handled.
- Behavior: Males patrol nesting areas.
- Mud Daubers:
- Appearance: Typically black with pale markings or a blue metallic luster.
- Body: “Thread-waisted” body with a long, slender segment between the thorax and abdomen.
- Wings: Clear or dark wings.
- Paper Wasps:
- Appearance: Similar body shape to yellow jackets, slimmer with a thin “waist.”
- Features: Six long legs, almost triangular side view, brown with some yellow coloration.
- Yellow Jackets:
- Appearance: Bee-sized, black insect with distinct yellow markings on the head and abdomen.
- Characteristics: Large antennae, wings fold lengthwise when not in motion.
Do Wasps Sting?
Wasps are prone to sting when they feel threatened. A single wasp can sting multiple times, and swarming can lead to numerous stings. Wasp stings can be extremely painful and, in some cases, life-threatening. Promptly hiring a wasp exterminator is crucial for safe nest removal.
Wasp vs. Hornet – What is The Difference?
While all hornets are wasps, not all wasps are hornets. The key differences lie in size, color, and physical features. Wasps are smaller, with black and yellow rings, while hornets are larger, with black and white rings, wider heads, and more rounded abdomens.
How to Get Rid of Wasps
The best way to get rid of wasps is through a quarterly pest control plan that provides year-round protection against wasps, pests, and rodents. This preventive measure ensures a wasp infestation doesn’t occur.
