Wasp comes under the category of bug, insect or pest and why chooses human homes as its habitat. Wasps basically belong to outdoors but the necessity to survive they come in to human homes. When food becomes scarce and cold weather settling in, wasps find outdoors difficult to live, so they invade homes that are located nearby. Your home provides them with warm and protective shelter where they can build nests and produce eggs and hatch more wasp babies. Wasps need strong base to build nest and human homes are strongly built with solid walls and roof. Wasps build their nests using scraps of wood and their own saliva and the mixture becomes papery after it is dry. The nest is supported by a wick attached to a solid base like ceiling. However not all wasps nests are similar as they differ with each species. In North America you have 4 common types of wasps and they are:
- Paper wasps
- Yellow jackets
- Hornets
- Mud-dauber wasps
How wasps’ nests look like?
Wasps’ nests can go undetected for long periods because they built nests in concealed places or lofty heights. Yellow jackets build their nests underground and can go undetected. You will come to know only when you step over the mouth of their underground nest. Hornets build their nests on trees, lofty places in human homes and their nests look long an elongated ball with a single hole for entrance. Mud-dauber wasps build nests with mud, mixture of dirt and saliva, and they are mostly single cells for breeding babies. Paper wasps are call so, because they build nests that are catacomb in appearance and it looks as if it has been made with paper. Paper wasps, hornets and yellow jackets are social wasps but mud-dauber wasps are solitary wasps that don’t socialize with others.
Why wasps are dangerous?
Wasps can enlarge their nests to accommodate more eggs and babies. The queen wasp produces eggs continuously to increase wasp population and in the process disrupt household activities of human. Wasps are territorial and they consider human as threat to their nests. This is the reason why they react violently when you walk past their nest. Not all wasps are same in temperament and only the yellow jacket gets agitated at the sight of anything approaching their nest and start stinging unprovoked. Rest of the above mentioned wasp species are not that aggressive but can sting if you try to swat them or drive them away. It is dangerous thing to do with wasps because they can sting you venom and put you in hospital with allergy and trauma.
