Wasps are typically black and yellow and from 18mm to 23mm long. A female or commonly known as a queen start a nest in the spring and nest. The nest is formed from wood found in shavings, dead trees and any other wood type material. It is then chewed causing a glue to hold the wood together and then the nest is built from this material.

The queen lays eggs which hatch in 3-5 days and once the larva emerges the wasp is fully grown in 3-4 weeks.

An average nest can produce 25,000 - 30,000 wasps during the season.

Wasp control is needed as there is the threat of being stung.
