Paper Wasp

Locale On Property
Homeowners should pay special attention to porch ceilings, around roof eaves, soffits, attic rafters, windows and doorframes, as these are places where paper wasps congregate.

Description
Adult paper wasps tend to have a brownish colouring with yellow markings (although a few paper wasp species have red markings).

Concerns
Paper wasp stings can be very painful and can cause the same risk of allergic reaction as other insect stings. The location of the sting will become red and swollen.
