German Yellow Jacket
German yellow jackets typically build their nests underground, in abandoned rodent burrows, or hollow trees. They are also known to construct nests in wall voids and attics of buildings. These social wasps are aggressive when defending their nests.
Eastern Yellow Jacket
Eastern yellow jackets are ground-nesting wasps. They create nests in soil cavities, such as old burrows or hollow logs. Additionally, they can build nests in wall voids and attics. These wasps are known for their aggressive behavior if their nest is disturbed.
European Hornet
European hornets prefer to construct their nests in hollow trees, wall voids, or other enclosed spaces. Their nests are made of chewed wood fibers mixed with saliva, creating a paper-like material. These hornets can be very defensive if their nest is threatened.
Paper Wasp
Paper wasps build open, umbrella-shaped nests suspended from structures such as eaves, branches, or porch ceilings. Constructed using plant fibers mixed with saliva, their nests have a papery texture. While these wasps are generally docile, they may sting if provoked.
Carpenter Bee
Carpenter bees are solitary insects that nest in wood. They excavate tunnels in wooden structures such as tree trunks, decks, or eaves. The entrance holes they create are perfectly circular. Male carpenter bees are territorial but do not sting, while females can sting if provoked.
Eastern Cicada Killer
Eastern cicada killers nest in dry, sandy soil, creating burrows that can extend several feet underground. These solitary wasps are not very aggressive towards humans unless directly handled.
Miner Bees
Miner bees, also known as ground bees, nest in the ground, creating small tunnels in areas with bare or sparsely vegetated soil. These bees are generally non-aggressive and rarely sting, focusing on pollinating and collecting nectar.
Mud Dauber
Mud daubers construct their nests from mud or clay, often attaching them to walls, rocks, or other structures. Each nest is composed of a series of individual mud cells. These solitary wasps are typically docile and non-aggressive toward humans.
Bald-Faced Hornet
Bald-faced hornets tend to build nests in attics, trees, and other high-up structures from which their distinguishable gray nests can hang. These bees can be identified from the distinct white markings on their heads. They produce a nasty sting and have a very aggressive nature.
