Paper Wasps

What are paper wasps?

paper wasps in franklin tennessee

Paper wasps get their name from the umbrella-shaped nests that they create from paper-like material.

They are considered to be only semi-social insects and live together in small colonies.

They have six long legs, antennae, and adults range in length from 5/8 to 3/4 of an inch.

They are brown to brownish-red in color and have yellow markings.

Their diet consists of nectar and other small insects.

Are paper wasps dangerous?

Paper wasps are not considered to be a very aggressive species, but they do have the ability to sting, and therefore are considered to be dangerous. Paper wasps generally only sting when they or their nest are being threatened. The venom from a paper wasp sting can cause severe allergic reactions in some people that require them to seek immediate medical attention.

Why do I have a paper wasp problem?

Paper wasps can build their nests from the branches of trees and shrubs, porch ceilings, door frames, soffits, eaves, inside of attics, and under decks. Any of these areas allow easy access to your home. They can also become a nuisance while you try to enter and exit your house. After breeding during the fall months, female paper wasps seek inside of homes and other buildings to overwinter.

How do I get rid of paper wasps?

Paper wasps and other stinging insects should only be removed from your home and property with the help of professionals. At All-American Pest Control, we offer pest control services for paper wasps through our Perimeter Plus Pest Control or Green Choice Pest Control programs.
