The most common stinging pest call in Somerset County. Nest in ground cavities, wall voids, and structures. Highly aggressive in late summer. Colonies can contain thousands of workers.
Build large gray paper nests visible in trees and on buildings. Aggressive defenders that will pursue threats away from the nest. Nests near activity areas should be addressed by a professional.
Build small open-comb nests under eaves, in door frames, and behind shutters. Less aggressive than yellow jackets but will sting if disturbed. Common on home exteriors spring through fall.
Note on honeybees: Honeybees are not in the same category as wasps and hornets. Most licensed pest control professionals do not exterminate honeybee colonies — honeybee removal is handled by licensed beekeepers. If you're dealing with honeybees specifically, your county agricultural extension office can provide local beekeeper referrals.
