Yellow jackets
Yellow Jackets will find way into cracks within your home or business.
Yellow jackets are less than an inch in size and are yellow and black in color. These pests reside in nests constructed of paper cartons, which can grow to be the size of a baseball. One nest can contain multiple rounded paper combs which are attached to one another and covered in many layers. Depending on the species, the nest can be near the ground, in logs or aerial and attached to shrubs, houses, garages, sheds or under roofs. Yellow jackets are slow to sting unless they feel threatened. They are considered beneficial because they control many pest insect species, like flies and aphids.
Wasps
Yellow Jackets will find way into cracks within your home or business.
Wasps aren’t usually aggressive as Yellow jackets or Hornets but their powerful stings can cause allergic reactions. Paper wasps have a distinguishable narrow or “pinched’ waist, their wings fold are large, and they are brown in color with yellow markings on their head, thorax, and abdomen. Most of the stinging insects in Nebraska and surrounding cities are primarily nuisance pests, however, several of the species can be aggressive and have powerful stings. These stings can cause strong allergic reactions that can lead to death in some. If you notice a bee, hornet, yellow jacket, wasp or other nest on your property you should call us immediately and we will respect the urgency of the need for bee & wasp control.
hornets
Hornets are the boss!
Hornets are wasps that are closely related to, but not to be confused with yellow jackets. Just like other social wasps, hornets create their nests from chewing wood into a papery pulp to raise their eggs to adults. Their threat to homeowners is in their sting, as they use it to kill prey and defend their hives. Unlike bees, hornets can sting multiple times as they do not die after stinging. The toxicity of their sting depends on their species, and the Asian giant hornet is the most venomous. People must be very careful because as social wasps, hornets can mobilize the entire nest to sting in defense, creating a highly dangerous situation. It’s crucial to call Watson Pest Control to eliminate the entire hive. This is because if hornets are killed near their hive, their bodies may release a pheromone which can cause other hornets to attack.
