Pasper Wasps Removal & Entomology
Paper wasps (Polistes spp.) are semi-social stinging insects known for their slender bodies, long legs, and distinctive umbrella-shaped nests. Unlike yellowjackets, paper wasps have noticeably long, dangling legs during flight, which is a key characteristic that sets them apart. While they are less aggressive than yellowjackets or bald-faced hornets, they will defend their nests if threatened, delivering painful stings.
Understanding Paper Wasps
Paper wasps build open, hexagonal-nest structures from chewed wood fibers mixed with saliva. These nests are commonly found under eaves, in attics, on porch ceilings, or inside wall voids. While they play a beneficial role in controlling pest insects, their presence near homes and businesses can pose a stinging hazard, especially in late summer when their colonies reach peak activity.
