Signs of a Wasp or Hornet Infestation
A lone wasp flying near you is usually no big deal, but when you notice several in a small area, it’s a strong hint that a colony has settled nearby. These insects become much more active as their nests grow during the warmer months.
Being observant is the first step in keeping your property safe. Instead of just looking for a simple bug, watch for patterns in their behavior and the noticeable signs of their construction.
Here are some common signs that you may have an infestation on your property:
- High numbers of insects. A sudden increase in the number of wasps, hornets, or yellow jackets flying around a specific area of your home or yard is the most obvious sign of a nearby nest.
- Visible nests. Some nests are easy to spot. Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves. In contrast, hornets and aerial yellow jackets build large, enclosed, paper-like nests that look like a gray football hanging from a tree or building.
- Buzzing sounds. You may hear buzzing sounds from inside a wall, a ceiling void, or from the ground, indicating a hidden yellow jacket nest.
Stinging Pests of the Pacific Northwest
Washington state is home to several stinging insect species, and their distinct behaviors and nesting habits are key to telling them apart.
Common stinging insects in our area include:
- Yellow jackets. These are some of the most aggressive wasps in our area. Common species in the Pacific Northwest include western, common, and aerial yellow jackets. Some build their nests in underground cavities like old rodent burrows, while others build hanging aerial nests. They are notorious scavengers at picnics and outdoor events.
- Paper wasps. Paper wasps are less aggressive than yellow jackets and will still sting if their nest is threatened. They build distinctive open-comb nests hanging from eaves, porch ceilings, and other protected structures.
- Hornets. Hornets are a type of yellow jacket but tend to be larger. They build large, football-shaped paper nests and attack as a group if they feel their home is threatened.
Knowing the difference between these stinging insects is vital for keeping your family and pets safe. Correct identification helps ensure that any necessary action is taken responsibly and successfully.
