Identifying Wasps
With a cursory look at their nest it is easy to tell which one is occupying your premises. The four wasp’s species namely yellow jackets, paper wasps, hornets and mud daubers, build nests that look distinctly different from each other. So it is easy to determine the wasps by looking at their nest.
Paper wasps

It is made up of uniform catacomb cells and the nest hangs from the ceiling or tree by the support of a cord. The nest itself is made up of wood pulp and paper wasps put in great artistry while creating the cells.
Yellow jackets
Yellow jackets’ nests are mostly found in concealed places like burrows in your garden, tree barks, and thickets nearby homes. They also make their cells using the wood pulp they make out of wood fiber and their saliva. You will find thousands of wasps living in multi tiers of cells housing thousands of yellow jackets. The nest is always characterized by a single opening.
Hornets
Bald faced hornets are found in North America and their nest is always 3-feet above the ground and above. You will find globular nests made of wood pulp handing from a tree, or from a window frame. Inside of the nest you will find rows of cells where hornets store their food and babies. The nest can be the size of a football and are distinct with their appearance.

Out of the four wasps species you may encounter the yellow jackets are to be dreaded because of their short tempers and fiery stings. It is better to keep a distance with these species because they could attack unprovoked if you go near the nest or cross their flight path. Hornets though not overtly aggressive can be deadly with their sting. Many deaths have been reported across the world caused by hornets’ stings.
