Wasps are flying insects that come from the same ancestors as bees and have been around since the Jurassic era, dating back 200 million years. The most common wasps we see in the spring and summer are hornets and yellow jackets. These pests create nests for the adult female to lay eggs. Unlike most other pests, wasps don’t group together; they live and breed separately, laying eggs and allowing the larvae to form away from others. The worker insects protect the nest by stinging intruders with poisonous venom. Although wasps simply represent another annoyance to humans, they do have the ability to pollinate flowers, despite being far less effective than bees. They are important to the natural ecosystem nonetheless.

The difference between wasps and bees
Wasp control becomes important when a nest of hive is found near your home, office, or building. Although wasps only attack when provoked, humans are a common target because we just happen to be in the way. You might be out gardening or taking out the trash when you move a little too close to a hive and get stung. Hornets and yellow jackets will do everything in their power to defend themselves, their nests, and to protect the queen. Unfortunately, a single hornet can sting a human multiple times because unlike a bee, its stinger stays intact after use. Wasps will not die after they sting, so it’s important to get away from their location as quickly as possible and call the exterminator right away. Their stings are poisonous, so if you’re stung by a wasp, you may experience pain and swelling in the area of the sting. This can be life threatening for anyone with anaphylaxis because they would go into shock, which is where treatment with a drug like Epinephrine come into play. For people without allergic reactions to stings, an ice pack can be applied to reduce swelling.
