FAQs About Wasps

Q. How do you tell different nests apart?

  • Paper wasps – These create open, umbrella-like nests made of a papery material, often found dangling from eaves with visible hexagonal cells.
  • Hornets – They build massive, fully enclosed football-shaped nests in trees, featuring a single entry point at the base.
  • Yellowjackets – These pests often build underground or within wall gaps; their papery nests house huge colonies with small, inconspicuous entrances.
  • Bees – Unlike the others, bees build waxy combs inside hollow cavities for long-term colonies that stay active through the winter months.

Q. What’s the difference between wasps, hornets, and yellowjackets?

They share many similarities, and it’s difficult to tell one species from another without getting very close, which we don’t advise. Technically, hornets and yellowjackets are types of wasps. All can be aggressive if they feel like their nest is threatened. 

Q. What are the most common types of wasps in the San Jaoquin Valley?

These are the species you’re most likely to run into:

  • Western Yellowjackets – Highly aggressive ground-nesters with yellow and black stripes that frequently scavenge around outdoor food and trash.
  • Paper Wasps – Slender insects with long, dangling legs that build open-faced, umbrella-shaped nests under eaves and porch ceilings.
  • Bald-Faced Hornets – Large, black-and-white stinging insects that build enclosed, football-shaped paper nests and are known for being extremely territorial.
  • Mud Daubers – Solitary, thin-waisted wasps that build mud tubes on walls and are generally non-aggressive as they hunt spiders.
  • Sand Wasps – Ground-dwelling wasps with large eyes that burrow into loose Valley soil and typically avoid human interaction while hunting flies.
