Common Types of Wasps Found in Surrey and Metro-Vancouver

Paper Wasp:

The color of Paper wasp is dusty yellow to dark brown or black. The length of paper wasps is generally 1.9 to 2.5 cm. This is a difficult pest to control but can mostly be controlled by professionals with proper measures. Typically, Paper wasps construct paper-like material nests. You can find football-shaped nests under soil cavities, ledges, and eaves. The sting of a paper wasp is not that much painful as compared to hornet or yellowjacket.

Hornets:

Hornets available in the BC can be identified by their prominent black and white ‘bald face’ and thus known as a bald-faced hornet. These Hornets are proved to be more aggressive and dangerous to control as to when compared with paper wasps. Their length could go up to 1.4 inches and is black in color with ivory white patterns. At nights, they are attracted to lights and that is considered the perfect time to trap them. The large paper nests of Hornets are in hollow trees and sheltered positions. And some of them can be found hanging from leaves or branches.

If their nest is slightly irritated, the wasps will spread in all directions and will cause bigger problems. To defend themselves, they use their stings and their sting is most painful among all the wasps. Hornet’s sting contains a lot of acetylcholine. These bald-faced hornets can sting repeatedly and, unlike bees, don’t die after stinging.

Yellow Jackets:

This wasps’ type is often mistaken and confused with bees because of their appearance and size. They are black and yellow in color. All of the yellow jackets are wasps whereas not all the wasps are yellow jackets. They are aggressive and defensive at the same time. They can sting and bite. Their sting is plenty painful.

Places like trees, protected places, shrubs, soil cavities, tree stumps or interior of man-made structures, are the perfect nesting locations for yellow jackets. The nests are built from wood fiber, which is a finely chewed paper-like pulp. The feed of adult yellow jackets is the items rich in sugar and carbohydrates like flower nectar, fruits and tree sap. They hunt for meat to take home as the larvae diet. Before feeding the larvae, the adults chew the hunt to make it softer.
