Paper wasps are flying insects often mistaken for yellow jackets. Seen as beneficial to gardeners, these insects excel at controlling the populations of insects that feed on plants.
In spite of these benefits, care should be taken when near wasps and their nests, as they will sting if they feel threatened. Only females have the ability to sting.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR
Typically paper wasps are black or brown with yellow markings, although color can vary by species, They have a slender, narrow-waisted body with long legs that hang beneath during flight. Paper Wasps are around ¾ – 1 inch long. They primarily feed on nectar, but will feed insects like caterpillars and flies to larvae,
The paper-like nests are constructed in rows of exposed hexagonal cells, forming an umbrella shape. Eggs are then laid in cells. Wasps typically build nests under overhangs like eaves and door frames, as well as on plants.
WASP CONTROL
While paper wasps are ecologically beneficial, they can be aggressive if provoked. Venom from stings can cause allergic reactions, so it is advised that any nests in close proximity to homes or in high traffic areas be removed.

We had a pest problem and the entire team was very responsive! From the phone staff to Ronnie coming out to the property. He was very helpful in explaining our issue and how we were going to treat it. Thank you!
Our office is next to a restaurant so pest control is a constant battle. Bobcat Wildlife & Pest Management were discreet and efficient. We have not seen any pests since working with them.
Bobcat Wildlife and Pest installed Incide PC™ insulation in our attic space. They were quick, quiet, and did a great job. Our home is warmer and more comfortable now. Well worth it!
Highly recommend this group!!! Within 24 hours of my “something stinks” panic call, one of the techs, Ronnie, was at our place taking care of the animals that found their final resting place in our vents… and patched it up so we wouldn’t have this happen again.
