Why Wasps, Hornets, & Yellow Jackets Aren’t Welcomed in Yards Across the Nation
Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets are closely related. In fact, hornets and yellow jackets are a type of wasp. Wasps are particularly frustrating to deal with because of their unpredictable nature and their ability to sting multiple times, unlike honeybees. Another important differentiator between wasps and honeybees are their diets. Wasps will prey on other insects while honeybees are pollinators that feed on flower nectar
Wasps, hornets, and yellow jackets become particularly aggressive if their nests are disturbed, making them difficult and scary to get rid of once they’ve claimed a corner of a yard as their home. Some species of wasps build nests from chewed wood fragments and salivary secretions. Other wasps, such as yellow jackets, build their nests underground. When wasps believe their nest are being attacked, they can release an alarm pheromone that attracts the rest of their colony to an all-out attack. Bald-faced hornets, a species found throughout North America, are particularly aggressive if they believe their nest is under attack.
Wasps have a venomous sting that can be agonizing for people who are allergic to them. In fact, these tiny creatures send about 225,000 people to the emergency room each year.
