Characteristics of wasps nests found in your area
Yellow jackets
Yellow jackets choose to live under ground or in hidden places like thickets. They use vacated rodent burrows as nest location and build rows of honeycomb nests sufficient enough to accommodate 500-1000 colleagues. You should watch out when you stroll in your lawn because you may be stepping right over the entrance of a yellow jacket nest. Their colony keeps growing during spring and summer and will become uncontrollable due to the size of their population.
Hornets
A hornets’ nest looks like a basketball or like a giant tear drop. Their nests are built with the paper like material that they make by chewing wood. Size of the nest will be determined by the size of hornet population. Their nest has a single entrance and you will find hundreds of cells inside the globular nest. Hornets are large sized wasps that do not sting unless provoked. They usually build nests on tree branches or underneath eves and sometimes in thickets or cavities in trees or logs.
Paper wasps
These are mostly found indoors and you can see them hanging from porch ceiling, window or door frames, overhands, under the deck, attic rafters, railings etc. their nest is paper-like which they make out of chewing wood which becomes paper like when they become dry. Their distinct umbrella hung upside down appearance make them easy to identify. They always build nests in protected parts of your building and a single nest with honeycomb cells can accommodate anywhere from 200-500 paper wasps.
Mud-Dauber wasp

Their nests are made with dirt and water gathered from outside and they build horn or tubular shape single cell nests on your walls mostly. Inside the cell they keep a larvae and a dead spider as food for the baby. You can easily identify them with their rows of tubular nests made of mud on the walls.
