Many types of wasps cause problems for New Jersey residents as they go about their daily activities report Monmouth County, NJ exterminators. Social wasps that belong to the Vespidae family can be an extreme nuisance to encounter. Vespidae family wasps include hornets, yellow jackets, and paper wasps. Each of these types of insects will defend their nest and territory with vigor if they believe a threat is nearby.
Vespidae family critters tend to build their nests near humans making chance encounters with the stinging pests an ongoing problem. It can be quite difficult to enjoy a backyard barbeque, pool party, or day at an amusement park with wasps or hornets flying in to partake in food or drink samplings of sweet sodas. These pesky invaders love both sweets and meat and have proven to be aggressive and dangerous home invaders.
It’s easy to tell the difference between wasps and bees because bees have body hairs with thin elongated body frames. Wasps may be reddish-brown, brown, black, or yellow and black in color. Their bodies have long narrow wings that fold into their body when they are not flying.
Wasps create paper-like nests that are made of wood fibers. The biggest difference between these aggressive pests is where they choose to build their nests. Paper wasps build their open paper-like nests under porches, eaves or windows. Insects that are caught are brought back to the nest and fed to their growing young. Caterpillars are one of their favorite meals. These wasps don’t usually cause problems for people unless they are being disturbed.
