Pest ID Guide

Wasps

Paper wasp

Identification

Solitary or social, including mud daubers and paper wasps, with slender bodies and long legs.

Habitat

Build nests from mud or paper in eaves, trees, shrubs, and outdoor structures.

Why They're A Risk

Mud daubers are calm and rarely sting; paper wasps and other social wasps are more defensive near their nest.

Signs To Watch For

An open, umbrella-shaped comb hanging from a stem, or steady traffic to one spot on the eaves.
