Wasps’ facts you should know

  • Wasps build nests in protected places such as ceilings, window frames, and eves, underground burrows left by rodents, tree branches, thickets and bushes bordering human habitats. If you are looking for wasps this is where you should check first.
  • There are four types of wasps you will find in Canada and they are paper wasps, yellow jackets, hornets and mud-daubers. All four are different in character such as varying degrees of temperament and tolerance and their ability to hurt human
  • Wasps become territorial as soon as they build a nest in your home and anyone approaching the nest or passing by will be targeted by them as an act of guarding the nest.
  • Among the four wasps species we mentioned yellow jackets are the most fearsome because they will attack you without any provocation from your. Wasps are strong protectors of their nest and the babies they keep in there. Anyone who come close to the nest is considered foes hence the attack.
  • Paper wasps and mud daubers are less dangerous and they don’t attack you unless you incite them. Mud-dauber wasp won’t attack you even if you disturb its nest or swat with a stick or paper roll.
  • Not all wasps are social wasps like yellow jacket and paper wasps. Mud-daubers are solitary wasps that build single cells that are shape like a horn or tube in a line. Here they place a larvae and a dead spider as food for the baby. They do not sting or bite but they can leave ugly marks on your pristine white wall with their mud-nests.
  • Hornets are also a wasp species only they are bigger. Some hornets can grow up to 2 inches. These are called the Asian Giant Hornets and they are capable of killing victims with their ferocious stings. However hornets won’t sting without provocation.
  • Yellow jackets prefer underground nests or tree cavities to form a colony. These are mostly rodent burrows that were vacated long time back and yellow jackets settle there to build a series of honeycomb shaped nests to accommodate large families consisting of 500-1,000 members. Yellow jackets are very similar to honey bees in build, shape and features thus are most time mistaken for bees.
  • Hornets in Canada are easy to identify as they are mostly bald faced hornets because they have no hair on the face and only marked with white stripes on them.
