Paper wasps

Paper wasps are distinctly known for the appearance of their nests. They use wood material and their own saliva to make paper pulp and build nests. You will see honeycomb cell nests hanging from your ceiling or eaves, tree branches and even in cavities on the ground or soil. They are usually flat and constructed with hundreds of cells where they store eggs, larvae and food. Their nest resembles a umbrella hung upside down and they are easy to identify. Paper wasps are social wasps thus live in large colonies. They are less aggressive than yellow jackets and may still pose a threat if you attempt to remove their nest.

Hornets or bald faced hornets

In Canada you will mostly find bald faced hornets and they are called so because they have no hair on their faces. Hornets are larger wasps species and they grow to a length of1-2 inches. This is the largest wasp species and it almost looks like in configuration with yellow jackets. Hornets have white and black markings on their body and face and have beady eyes. These are considered dangerous because their group attacks on people have resulted in deaths. Hornets build nests in concealed places like crevices in buildings, room corners, tree branches, eaves of buildings, under the ground and other concealed places. You can identify their nest by their globular design and football size nest with single entry point. The nest is build by the paste made out of wood fibers and saliva or water thus they look papery. They are dangerous to have around because they can inject more venom than any other wasps species found in Canada.

Mud-dauber wasps

Mud-dauber wasps are easily identified their wispy waist which is almost invisible. Just a thread like part connects the upper and lower body of the wasp. Mud-dauber is not social thus build single nests looking like pipes or horns. They use water and dirt gathered outside to make clay and use it to build singular nests. You can see them spread on your wall or woodwork because mud daubers build many singular nests to store each larva and their foods.
