Common wasps in Charleston County, South Carolina include social species like Paper Wasps, Yellowjackets and Bald-faced Hornets as well as solitary ground-nesters like Mud Daubers and Cicada Killers.
Paper Wasps
Paper wasps build very distinctive nests with open combs in an umbrella shape that are usually attached by a small stalk in the eaves of houses. With striking black and yellow coloring, these wasps are often confused with hornets because they have long bodies and legs with an elongated waist that gives them an hourglass like appearance. Unlike yellowjackets and hornets, paper wasps are fairly docile and will only sting when they feel like their nest is being attacked.
Yellowjackets
Yellowjackets are stinging insects that build large communal hives. Most of the time, yellowjackets are not aggressive and will not harm you if you stay out of their way. However, when their nest is disturbed, yellowjackets will swarm out and attack the offender. If you find a yellowjacket nest, be careful not to disturb it. If it is in a place you are likely to come into contact with, you can call SaniQuest Pest Solutions to remove these wasps and their nest.
Bald Faced Hornets
Bald-faced hornets are easily recognized by their black bodies and distinctive white markings on their face and abdomen, which give them the ‘bald-faced’ name. These wasps are often spotted by their paper-like nests, typically built high up in trees, on shrubs or even on man-made structures. The nests are large, round and covered in a gray paper-like material made of chewed wood fibers. Bald-faced hornets are very aggressive when defending their homes, fiercely attacking anything that comes too close to their paper-like nests.
Wasp Stinging Insect Control in Charleston, North Charleston, James Island and Greater Mt Pleasant, South Carolina
Wasps can sting multiple times without hardship. They are territorial and will sting as they feel people are intruding on their grounds. Hornets, yellow jackets and other social wasps will consume nearly anything, often perching nearby picnic trash cans to eat left over meats and sweets, but will still eat insects and nectar. Social wasps will nest in high trees or structures and construct hives as well as low porch steps or fence posts, or turn abandoned tree stumps, burrows, and undisturbed locations into their home.
