What Are Wasps?
Wasps are flying insects that come in many forms, but the most common around Morris County are:
​
-
Yellow jackets – aggressive, often nest in the ground or wall cavities.
-
Paper wasps – build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves or porches.
-
Hornets – larger, highly defensive, and pack a powerful sting.
Unlike bees, wasps can sting multiple times, which makes them especially dangerous. And while they play a role in controlling other insects, you definitely don’t want them taking over your property.
​
How Do I Identify Wasps?
Identifying wasps is easier than you think:
​
-
They have slim, smooth bodies with a distinct waist (unlike fuzzy bees).
-
Most are black and yellow, though hornets can have white markings.
-
Their nests are papery in texture, often hanging in visible spots.
If you’re not sure whether you’re dealing with bees, wasps, or hornets, leave it to us. Misidentification can lead to risky DIY attempts, and we’d rather keep you safe.
​
How Did I Get Wasps?
Wasps love properties that provide food, shelter, and entry points. Some common attractors include:
​
-
Open garbage bins with food scraps.
-
Sugary drinks and fruit left outside.
-
Cracks or gaps in walls and rooflines.
-
Dense vegetation or trees close to buildings.
Our inspections focus on spotting these vulnerabilities, so we can not only remove the nest but prevent future infestations.

What Are the Effects of Wasps in and Around My Home or Business?
Wasps aren’t just a nuisance. They pose serious risks:
​
-
Health hazards – painful stings, potential allergic reactions, even medical emergencies.
-
Disruption – outdoor gatherings, employees, or customers avoid areas with wasp activity.
-
Property damage – nests in walls or attics can weaken structures over time.
Don’t wait for wasps to control your space — Accurate Pest Control is here to take control back for you.
How Long Do Wasps Live?
Most worker wasps only live for a few weeks, but queens can survive through the winter. That’s why infestations return every spring if the queen finds a cozy spot in your home to hide.
By targeting the source — queens and nesting areas — we break the cycle and keep your property protected long-term.
How Do I Prevent Wasps?
You can lower your risk with a few simple steps:
​
-
Seal cracks and entry points around your home.
-
Keep trash bins tightly closed.
-
Avoid leaving food or drinks outdoors.
-
Trim vegetation near your house.
But prevention only goes so far. For true protection, professional treatment and follow-up inspections from Accurate Pest Control ensure that wasps stay away.

What Do Wasps Eat?
Wasps are opportunistic eaters:
​
-
They feed larvae protein from insects and scraps.
-
Adult wasps crave sugar — nectar, soda, fruit, and even your picnic desserts.
This is why outdoor activities often attract unwanted swarms. By managing attractants and working with pest experts, you can cut down on these encounters.
What Eats Wasps?
In nature, wasps have predators like birds, spiders, and even praying mantises. But let’s be real — relying on them isn’t enough. A single queen can restart a colony, and natural predators won’t solve your infestation.
​
That’s where professional wasp extermination comes in.
Where Do Wasps Go in the Winter?
Most wasps die off in winter, but the queen survives. She hibernates in protected spaces like attics, sheds, or wall cavities — ready to restart her colony in spring.
This makes winter inspections smart. By identifying potential overwintering queens, we can stop infestations before they begin.
What Attracts Wasps?
Wasps are drawn to:
​
-
Sweet food and drinks.
-
Protein sources like meat scraps.
-
Standing water and gardens.
If your home offers these attractions, chances are wasps will come knocking. That’s why proactive prevention is key.
