A solitary wasp can be very formidable. A lone wasp usually comes equipped with a longer, thin body and a thin waist. They are the stereotypical black and yellow colors and they are not usually vicious until disturbed. They are not very territorial and they won’t usually sting humans. Most people wouldn’t consider them pests but, rather, beneficial animals in the gardening area because they eat pests like aphids and things of that nature. If they are bugging you, however, spray the wasp with citrus oil extract. Once the citrus oil meets the wasp, it will kill it on contact.
Hornets can be intimidating but they aren’t always troublesome. As a species, hornets are extremely territorial but not nearly as much so as the yellow jacket. The most common wasp in the United States is the bald-faced hornet. To eliminate hornets, all you have to do is spray pressurized wasp killer into the nest entrance during the late evening hours. A flashlight is a necessity as you need to see the nest entrance..
Yellow jackets are a type of wasp, too. Yellow jacks are extremely easy to identify because they have the thick stripes as well as a thick torso. They are extremely territorial and they can be very aggressive as well, unlike other social wasps. They are willing to die to protect their nests and they bite and sting whomever tries to take them out. When they sting they inject doses of poison into their victim before being brushed away or killed. The yellow jacket is one of the only pests in the wasp family. You can kill a yellow jacket just as you kill hornets..
