| Paper Wasp |
|
Brownish with yellow markings; most species are about 1 inch. Habitat
Paper wasps are easily identified by their
nest—a round, upside-down paper cone that hangs from a horizontal
surface in a protected location. Most paper wasp nests are located in
exposed areas beneath soffits, in the corners of windows, under
awnings, under porches and beneath decks. Paper wasps often enter
attics through holes in the soffits, attic vent screens and underneath
shingles.
Diet
Paper wasps are predators and feed on insects, spiders and caterpillars.
Insect control: paper wasps
Paper wasp nests are
usually easily controlled using a wasp treatment product, then knocking
down the nest. Such treatments are best done at night, although
professionals can safely treat them during the day. On buildings where
continuous paper wasp nest building occurs, treatment of the affected
areas with a residual pest control product applied by a professional
can deter most of the activity.
