 Solitary wasp                              The image on the left is a perfect example of the solitary wasp. The solitary wasp usually has a very long, thin body and waist; are not particularly colorful; and are usually quite docile. They are not very territorial and will rarely sting humans. They are not considered pests, but they are considered beneficial insects in the economic and gardening sense, seeing as how they tend to prey on garden pests like aphids and beetles. To get rid of solitary wasps, simply have a spray bottle filled with citrus oil extract on hand. Citrus oil extract kills wasps on contact.
   
Paper wasp

   This picture shows a paper wasp and its nest. As you can see, paper wasps construct nests made of a papery material. Paper wasps are beneficial insects and are therefore only deemed pests if they build a nest near humans. Otherwise, the paper wasp is one of the most harmless species of social wasp, and it’s a real treat to watch them build those amazing nests.

   The safest way to get rid of paper wasps is to purchase a can of pressurized wasp killer and spray the nest in a sweeping motion during the night.
 Bald-faced hornet  Hornets look very fearsome due to their size, but they aren't out of trouble. Hornets are territorial but are far less aggressive than the yellow jacket. The bald-faced hornet (left) is the most common hornet wasp in the U.S. To get rid of hornets, you should use a can of pressurized wasp killer to spray the nest from a distance during the evening.  Be sure to have a flashlight so you can see the nest entrance. Read all about how to get rid of hornets.
   
 Yellow jacket on wood  Here is a picture of a yellow jacket wasp. Yellow jackets are easy to identify due to their thick waists and bright yellow patterns. Yellow jacket wasps are extremely territorial and aggressive social wasps. They will defend their nests to the bitter end, biting and stinging their way into the next life, often injecting several doses of poison before being wiped away or killed. Of all the wasps, the yellow jacket is considered to be the only “pest” in the family. This means you'll definitely want to know best how to get rid of yellow jackets.
