YellowJackets Wall NJ

  • YellowJacket – Adult workers are 3/8-5/8 in (10-16 mm) long, depending on species; queens are 25% longer. Yellowjackets are generally black in color with yellow markings on the body. Yellowjackets prefer to nest in the soil, making a paper-carton nest with many layers and hundreds of individual cells. The nest eventually has 30-55 compartments surrounded by a paper wall. They can also be found nesting in attics, behind walls, inside hollow trees, barns, in retaining walls and other landscape.

 

 

 

 

 

 

European Paper Wasps Wall NJ

  • European Paper Wasp – European paper wasp adults rather small at about 15 mm long. The European paper wasp is commonly mistaken for the Yellowjacket, as both appear black in color with yellow markings on the body. The way to tell them apart is the paper wasp has a thin, noticeably pinched “waist” and upside-down, umbrella-shaped nest. Paper wasp nests may be found under eaves, attic gable vents, inside exterior lights, charcoal or gas grills, and other enclosed areas.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Baldface Hornets Wall NJ

  • Baldfaced Hornet – Workers are about 5/8-3/4+ in (15-20+ mm) or longer; queens are 3/4+ in (20+ mm) long. They build paper enclosed, gray, nests in trees branches, bushes and on the outside of structures. The Baldfaced hornet is mostly black with a characteristic white pattern over most of its face, hence its common name, “Baldfaced”. Baldfaced hornet nests can be found in nearby trees, chimneys, under eaves, or nesting behind siding, in barns, attics and other structures.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Carpenter Bees Wall NJ

  • Carpenter Bee – Adults are about 1/2 to 1 in (12.5-25 mm) long and robust. Because of their size, carpenter bees are often mistaken for bumble bees. When properly identified, carpenter bees can be distinguished by their shiny, black abdomen and like to hover when they fly. The adult female carpenter bee will use her chewing mouthparts to make holes into wood (about half an inch in diameter) where she will turn 90 degrees and create a series of chambers about 5-8 inches long in which to lay her eggs.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why do I have Stinging Insects?

There are multiple reasons for having stinging insects on your property. Each year in the spring (as early as March to May) the queens will emerge from overwintering and begin to search for suitable nesting spots. As adults, many stinging insects feed on nectar and are also attracted to water sources. Feeding is different from species to species but may include other insects, nectar, and pollen.While most of the time these insects are considered more of a nuisance than a danger, some species do pack a powerful sting that could be considered a health threat in some instances.
