STINGING INSECTS
Do I have wasps or Yellow Jackets?
The easiest way to determine what you have is by the type and location of the nest. Most wasps in our area build exposed nests under eaves and soffits. The nests are usually round in shape and resemble a honeycomb pattern. Yellow Jackets tend to build inside places like attics, under porches, in landscape timbers, juniper bushes, etc. Yellow Jackets cover their nests with a gray and black colored paper material, which is made of chewed up wood fibers mixed with saliva.
Why do I have them?
No real reason. Most homes in our area experience wasps and yellow jackets around their house primarily during the summer months.
Are they dangerous?
Stinging insects such as wasps and yellow jackets send over 500,000 people to the emergency room each year. Wasps in Denver and throughout Colorado are on the rise. Yellow jackets pose significant health threats to humans as they may sting repeatedly and can cause allergic reactions. Stinging insects send over 500,000 people to the emergency room each year.
