There are different types of wasps found in Canada and there are 3or 4 major wasp types that take refuge in to your homes or surroundings. You can identify them by their nests because they differ with each major wasp type.  Wasps found in North America include paper wasps, hornets, yellow jackets and mud dauber wasps. There are more wasps and hornet species found in your area but they do not make up the numbers hence are hardly found.

How their nests look like?

Paper wasp nest

Paper wasps build their nests with wood and saliva. They scrap out wooden fiber from fallen logs or trees and mix them with their saliva to make pulp which they use to build honeycomb shaped cells. Initially there are few cells but as summer progresses you will find more cells and the number could increase to hundreds of them. The honeycombed papery wasp nest take the form an umbrella hung upside down when the wasps hand the nest on a support using a stack. So paper wasp nest is easy to find and they usually build them on ceilings, wall corners, eaves, attic, barn, wall voids etc.

Hornet’s nest

The bald faced hornet is the most found in Canada and they build what looks like a globe or football made up of papery pulp. Their cells are not visible unless you cut open the globular nest. Hornets usually build nests on aerial spots and can be found on the ceiling, attic, window frames, trees and any other area which is at a height. Hornet is easy to spot as it is made of black and white and has no hair the face or body. Hornet’s nest can accommodate more than a thousand hornets at a time. The nest looks like an inverted tear drop and inside you will find hundreds of cells.

Yellow jackets

Yellow jacket wasps are the most ferocious and they are flexible in nest building and will build nests both above and under the ground. Their nests are very similar to paper wasps but the cells will be greater in number. Their ambivalent nature enables them to live underground such as occupying vacated rodent burrow or finding a cavity in a dead wood or tree. They can accommodate 500-700 wasps normally but some nests in warmer regions were reported house 5,000 and above.  The underground yellow jackets make them dangerous because you could unwittingly tread on mouth of the underground nest and stir wasps in to action.

Mud Dauber Wasp’s nest

Mud Daubers build nests with mud made up of dirt gathered from outside and then mixing it with their saliva. These are solitary wasps that do no socialize and their nests are mostly organ pipes like. Each of their mud nests will house individual babies with dead spiders for food. They are usually found on your walls or such solid surfaces and they can make an ugly pattern that you do not want for your interior or exterior decoration. Mud Dauber is easily identified by their nest as well as their thread like waist.
