If you consistently see wasps buzzing about your yard, your garbage or backyard patio table, chances are there is an active nest nearby. In North America, wasps are common, especially Bald Faced Hornets, which are actually wasps, and Paper Wasps.

Both of these wasps pose a pest problem, but each in their own ways. The Bald Faced Hornet is large, fast, and aggressive, and it may attack without being provoked. These characteristics can make this wasp quite a nuisance.

Paper Wasps are smaller and less aggressive, but as they are attracted to the smell of anything remotely sweet--even your sweat--they may buzz about your body and into your home as much as possible.

Both of these common wasps are known to make nests, which may be found in trees, shrubs, or overhangs. If there is a body of water nearby, such as a pool, pond or bird bath, it is likely a huge magnet to area wasps, even if they don't nest in your yard or around your home. Wasps crave lots of water, so they will often fly in from near and far to get it.

It is necessary to contact a professional pest control team to rid your home and yard of these stinging nuisances, especially if there is a water feature. Aerosol forms of pesticide often are applied in an effort to eradicate wasps. A professional team should be able to spray the grounds of your home to prevent wasp activity. This spray typically contains a natural or synthetic form of pyrethin, a naturally occurring chemical that wasps cannot breathe in.
