Wasps have intrigued people for several centuries. Their color, their activity, and their painful sting have made them the sources of interest or worry to many people. Of many wasp species found in North America, only a few wasps are of a direct concern to the homeowner. Your best bet to achieve control over wasps is to find the nest and destroy the colony by applying insecticides, which you will read in detail in this article below.
Wasps and bees can be a serious nuisance, particularly late in the summer when certain yellowjacket wasps forage at garbage and outdoor food areas. In overall balance, however, these insects are beneficial in their activities, particularly as predators of pest insects and as pollinators. It is important to distinguish between the various wasps and bees because their potential as problems and their control differ.
