Wasp and Hornets
HORNETSHornets build their nests from chewed wood fiber, which is used to make hollow layers,
like an onion, around the attachment point. They enter and exit the nest from an opening at the lower end.
ControlIf a nest is too close for comfort, an aerosol Wasp & Hornet spray can be used from a safe position after dusk, when the insects are in their nest.Thanks to Walter Reeves for the above taken from WalterReeves.com

WASPA wasp is a predatory, flying, stinging insect, with a stinger and membranous forewings and hindwings.
It is related to ants and bees, with all of them being members of order Hymenoptera, but is separated from
ants and bees by having a stinger and no hair; bees have hair. A rough definition of the term wasp is any
member of the aculeate family Vespidae. Almost every pest insect species has at least one wasp species that
preys upon it, making wasps critically important in natural control of their numbers, or natural biocontrol.
Parasitic wasps are increasingly used in agricultural pest control as they prey mostly on pest insects and
have little impact on crops. CategorizationThe various species of wasps fall into one of two main categories: solitary wasps and social wasps. Adult solitary wasps generally live and operate alone, and most do not construct nests (below); all adult solitary wasps are fertile. By contrast, social wasps exist in colonies numbering up to several thousand strong and build nests—but in some cases not all of the colony can reproduce. In the more advanced species, just the wasp queen and male wasps can mate, whilst the majority of the colony is made up of sterile female workers.Solitary waspsThe nesting habits of solitary wasps are more diverse than those of social wasps. Mud daubers and pollen wasps construct mud cells in sheltered places typically on the side of walls. Potter wasps similarly build vase-like nests from mud, often with multiple cells, attached to the twigs of trees or against walls. Most other predatory wasps burrow into soil or into plant stems, and a few do not build nests at all and prefer naturally occurring cavities, such as small holes in wood. A single egg is laid in each cell, which is sealed thereafter, so there is no interaction between the larvae and the adults, unlike in social wasps. In some species, male eggs are selectively placed on smaller prey, leading to males being generally smaller than females.Social waspsThe nests of some social wasps, such as hornets, are first constructed by the queen and reach about the size of a walnut before sterile female workers take over construction. The queen initially starts the nest by making a single layer or canopy and working outwards until she reaches the edges of the cavity. Beneath the canopy she constructs a stalk to which she can attach several cells; these cells are where the first eggs will be laid. The queen then continues to work outwards to the edges of the cavity after which she adds another tier. This process is repeated, each time adding a new tier until eventually enough female workers have been born and matured to take over construction of the nest leaving the queen to focus on reproduction. For this reason, the size of a nest is generally a good indicator of approximately how many female workers there are in the colony. Social wasp colonies often have populations exceeding several thousand female workers and at least one queen. Polistes and some related types of paper wasp do not construct their nests in tiers but rather in flat single combs.ControlActive nests causing problems can be destroyed with an insecticide. Insecticide applications are best made during late evening or cool periods in early morning, when the wasps do not readily fly and most foragers have returned to the colony. A variety of insecticides are currently sold for this purpose with active ingredients including permethrin, deltamethrin, tralomethrin, bifenthrin, tetramethrin, allethrin, and esfenvalerate. Many of these are combination products that include a fast-acting, short-lived ingredient (e.g., allethrin, tetramethrin) with an insecticide that is more persistent in ability to control wasps (e.g., permethrin).
