Hornets & Wasps
Wasps are often mistaken for bees and confused with other stinging insects. Wasps are infamous for building their nests right in places where people like to gather, like around your deck or under the eaves of your roof in your backyard. These stinging insects are also well known for viciously defending their nests.
Wasps come in all shapes and sizes. Unlike bees, some wasps live in large colonies. Some wasps survive entirely on nectar from plants, but others will attack other insects. They have a painful sting, and unlike bees, wasps do not leave their stingers behind. That means they can sting someone over and over again – which makes them particularly painful pests.

Wasp Nests
Ground nests, mud daubers and paper nests are the common types of wasp nests homeowners have issues with. Mud daubers are wasp nests made of mud. Luckily, mud dauber wasps are more of a nuisance rather than a threat and rarely sting humans.
Ground nests house ground digger wasps and females will sting if provoked. Paper wasp nests are typically found hanging under gutters, porch steps or hanging off tree branches. Common species of paper wasps include the Umbrella Paper wasp and the Bald-Faced Hornet.
It is possible to remove wasp nest on your own but it’s not recommended. It’s best for you to avoid DIY wasp nest removal because of the amount of risk associated with it and the average homeowner is unaware of the steps and precautions one must take to remove it. If you find a wasp’s nest do not take any chances. Trying to knock down the nest or using other methods can backfire and you end up under attack.
