The Paper Wasp: Friend or Foe?

Some say wasps are a pest. Others argue that they are great for the garden.

How about you decide for yourself?

Paper wasps are larger than normal wasps, although they share the same basic characteristics, like a long, thin yellow body and the ability to sting multiple times. Because they are larger, their sting tends to pack a more painful punch. Not to mention, more venom means a quicker allergic reaction for those with an allergy to wasps.

Paper wasps are also very territorial, so even the slightest threat to their nest could cause an attack.

On a lighter note, paper wasps can be very beneficial when it comes to pest control in the garden. Predators by nature, paper wasps will eat caterpillars, flies and even beetle larvae. It’s effortless, natural garden pest control.

Homemade Paper Wasp Control

If you still want to get rid of paper wasps, try making an imitation paper wasp nest. This will act much like a scarecrow in the garden, sending the message that wasps are not welcome.

Some people hang a small black garbage bag stuffed with newspaper, while others suggest using papier-mâché to create a more lifelike nest.

The nests should be visible, but placed in areas where wasps would typically inhabit. This includes under roofs, porches, around gutters and other out of reach places.

You may also use these imitation nests to relocate wasps away from your home, while keeping them in the area for pest control.
