Frequently Asked Questions

What makes paper wasps different from hornets?

Paper wasps are generally slimmer with longer legs and build open-comb nests, unlike the enclosed nests of hornets.

Do paper wasps pose a threat to children?

Yes, especially if a child disturbs a nest. Stings can be painful and potentially dangerous if allergic.

How many wasps are in a typical nest?

A mature paper wasp nest can hold 20–75 individuals depending on the season and conditions.

Can weather impact paper wasp activity?

Yes, warm and dry conditions promote nesting activity, while cold slows them down.

Do paper wasps die off in winter?

Most die off, but fertilized queens survive by hibernating in sheltered spots until spring.

Protect your space with a targeted paper wasp control plan today.
