Yellowjackets (Wasps) - Though more frequently found out of doors, some (German yellowjackets) can be found in empty spaces like vents, hollow walls and attics.
The appearance of their shiny black and yellow striped mid sections are enough to strike fear in the hearts of people everywhere, as they are notorious for being aggressive and - in fact - are responsible for more stings than any other kind of bee or wasp. Some individual yellowjackets can sting repeatedly, creating a severe hazard. The nests of yellowjackets consist of multi-floored levels of combs, enveloped in paper, and over three thousand of them might be present in a single colony. As their insect food supply declines in the cooler months, this is when they begin to aggressively scavenge around garbage containers, and picnickers. Since eradicating these pests in large numbers is not practical, prevention should be practiced when you are outdoors in areas they might infest (heavily wooded areas and gardens); such as keeping foods and trash enclosed with tightly-fitted lids. |

Mud Dauber Wasps - These wasps construct tubular nests made from mud and 'plastered' on structure exteriors. They reach 3/4 inches and are brownish-black with yellow markings. Its nests are about 2 inches long.
Organ Pipe Mud Dauber Wasps - This wasp builds nests up to a foot in length which look like the closely placed pipes on a pipe organ. Blue Mud Dauber Wasps - A shiny, dark blue wasp is a bit of a 'squatter' in that it lays its eggs inside the nests created by other mud daubers. |
