Certain species of wasps, such as yellow jackets, display aggressive behavior when their nests are disturbed. Their stings have the potential to cause intense pain and trigger allergic reactions in some individuals. These insects are drawn to sugary foods and beverages, making outdoor gatherings susceptible to disruptions. If signs of a wasp infestation are observed, seeking professional pest control assistance can effectively address the issue.

Types of wasps

1. Yellow Jacket Wasps:

Easily identifiable by their yellow and black stripes, yellow jacket wasps live in colonies and build nests. They are attracted to sugary substances, making them a potential nuisance during outdoor gatherings.

2. Mud Dauber Wasps:

Crafting nests from mud, mud dauber wasps, while not harmful to humans, can be bothersome due to their frequent flying around the house.

3. Paper Wasps:

Distinguished by their elongated bodies and long legs, paper wasps construct nests using paper-like materials. Although not as aggressive as yellow jackets, they still present a potential threat to humans.
