What Attracts Wasps?

These hornets are threatening because of their opportunistic behavior of nesting in structural voids, attics, and any cavities in landscaping features. They scavenge in trash containers and look for food and drinks that are consumed outdoors. Particularly, sweet foods attract wasps. They will eat ripe fruit in gardens and vineyards, as well as any fruit juice or fallen fruit near garbage cans.

As the temperature cools in the fall months with reduced food supplies, they may seek shelter in warm shelters, invading human structures. Their colonies peak in the late summer and fall and are most noticeable around the home.

  • Typical "wasp" body type: - a short, narrow attachment between the thorax and the abdomen, which is spindle-shaped and tipped with a long stinger.

  • Thorax and abdomen are brightly marked with yellow, red, or brown on a black background. Many hornets are confused with yellow jackets.
