Soon, there will be hundreds, or even thousands, of workers to go out in search for food, both for the queen and for the next batch of larvae. If you have the misfortune of finding a wasp nest somewhere around your home, or perhaps even inside it, the best thing to do is to contact a wasp extermination service.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;80px&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1500061025861{background-color: #e0e0e0 !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_row_inner is_fullwidth_content=&#8221;false&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;Title_Text&#8221;]\n<h2><strong>Wasps 101<\/strong><\/h2>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221; el_class=&#8221;SubTitle_Paragraph_Text&#8221;]In Quebec, only young, fertilized queens can survive our rigorous winters. However, they aren\u2019t the ones you should be wary of, as they don\u2019t have stingers. Males don\u2019t have stingers either. Rather, it\u2019s the female workers who can ruin your day with their fiercely painful sting. Unlike <a href=\"\/en\/insects-pests\/bee-exterminator\/\">bees<\/a>, wasps and <a href=\"\/en\/insects-pests\/hornet-extermination\/\">hornets<\/a> can sting repeatedly.<\/p>\n<p>Some species of wasp are more aggressive than others. Yellow jackets, paper wasps and hornets are the most common types found in Quebec; the yellow jackets, or <strong>Vespula<\/strong>, are the ones most likely to sting for no good reason.\u00a0 They have black and yellow stripes and measure from one to two centimetres long; they aren\u2019t covered in the fine fur that bumble bees and honey bees have. Yellow jackets live in social groups, so if you see one around your house, it means there are almost certainly others not far away.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; equal_columns=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;Service_Col_Padding Service_Text_Margin&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>Don\u2019t stir up the hornet\u2019s nest!<\/h2>\n<p>Wasps eat other, smaller insects as well as flower nectar. They especially like to feed on the midges that buzz around flowers in bloom\u2014this means wasps are partly responsible for pollination. If your back yard boasts several varieties of flowers, that may be part of the reason why wasps are building nests around your home.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t irritate wasps by making sudden, brisk movements to shoo them away. When they feel threatened, they trigger a chemical alarm that alerts other workers to a danger. These helpers will quickly come to the assistance of their swarm-mate, and the result will most likely be a full-on attack.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243; el_class=&#8221;Service_Col_Padding Service_Text_Margin bg-light-grey&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h2>A peek inside the wasp\u2019s nest<\/h2>\n<p>A <strong>wasps\u2019 nest<\/strong> can take several different forms, depending on the species:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Umbrella-shaped, about the size of a closed fist<\/li>\n<li>Cone shaped, about the size of a basketball (especially in trees)<\/li>\n<li>An underground nest covered with a pile of pebbles<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Queens usually build their nests in holes in the ground, under picnic tables, under roof cornices and eaves, in the wall cracks of houses or in attics and garages.

After dusk, wasp activity is reduced and thus the chances of getting attacked by a swarm are lessened. Our exterminators will spray with an insecticide only if they can\u2019t safely remove the nest altogether. In the latter case, when the wasps begin to die, the nest will be sealed in a bag and properly disposed of by our technicians.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; fullwidth_content=&#8221;false&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;highlight-black&#8221;]After the wasp extermination and nest removal, some workers might return to the scene. They were most likely somewhere else when the nest was destroyed and are now looking for it. These stray worker wasps won\u2019t stick around for long, as they\u2019re unable to build a new nest themselves; only queens can do that.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; fullwidth_content=&#8221;false&#8221; el_class=&#8221;row-padding bg-dark-grey&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text align=&#8221;center&#8221;]\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">Some advice about prevention<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">During the summer season, when outdoor dining is common, you\u2019re more likely to see wasps nosing around. Sweet foods attract them, so garbage cans, empty plates and even the sugary foods you\u2019re holding in your hands are a temptation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">The best solution is to screen in your deck or use mosquito netting around the table; however, if that isn\u2019t possible, be sure to at least cover your plates and serving dishes. If you choose to linger over a glass of wine, clear away the used dishes so you don\u2019t attract any problems.<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row fullwidth=&#8221;true&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1505926959021{background-color: #0055c5 !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;row-call&#8221;][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=&#8221;40px&#8221;][vc_row_inner is_fullwidth_content=&#8221;false&#8221;][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;SubTitle_Paragraph_Text White_Text&#8221; css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1736865441264{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}&#8221;]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">After the removal of a wasps\u2019 nest, we recommend that you use our <a href=\"https:\/\/eliteextermination.com\/en\/pest-prevention\/\">preventive spraying<\/a> services.
