General Information - Liverpool Wasp Control:

The hornet (vespa crabro)

The hornet belongs to the wasp family Vespidae, and is the largest social wasp in Britain.
Measuring between 30 and 40mm long these formidable looking creatures have quite a scary reputation, but are actually thought to be quite docile creatures that only attack when defending their nest. Their large stingers are considered no more painful than those of smaller wasps, and they are mainly used to attack insect prey, which they chew up and feed to their larvae.

These often misunderstood creatures are also great to have in your garden, as they feed mainly on the insects and pests that ruin vegetables, flowers and plants. Adults have also been known to eat spiders, and queens eat treesap and nectar while egg laying or preparing for hibernation.
Hornets appear similar to common wasps but are much larger, and chestnut brown and yellow in colour. Like the smaller common wasp their colouring and pattern serves as a warning to predators that they are venomous. Hornets are social insects that live together in 'papery' nests – these are often built in tree hollows, although some have been found in wall cavities and guttering. They are constructed mainly from rotten wood and wood shavings, which the hornets chew up with saliva into a pliable pulp that can be easily moulded.

The lifecycle of a hornet is similar to that of a wasp, and is quite fascinating. In winter female hornets hibernate – the majority don't survive the winter period but the ones that do emerge in spring and become new queens. They begin nest building and lay eggs that hatch into female workers, who then take over the nest building. As the building continues the queen lays both male and female eggs, which hatch and mate in summer. After summer the workers and males die, and the females go into hibernation again.

Identifying Hornets & Wasps:

The bright yellow and black striping of wasps and hornets is a warning pattern that has been mimicked by many insects to take advantage of the deterrent effect of appearing wasp like. These harmless mimics include hover-flies, day moths (such as the Ash Borer) and beetles that visit flowers to feed on pollen and nectar.

The wasps most often encountered in the UK are the Common or Social Wasp and the German Wasp. As well as distinctive black and yellow stripes, wasps have two pairs of wings (the hind wings being smaller than the fore wings) and tend to be less hairy than bees. Their eyes are kidney shaped and their bodies are more pointed than bees, with a noticeable waist. Only female wasps have the long distinctive stinger, which they can use repeatedly unlike bees.

Yellow Jackets/Wasp in Liverpool and Merseyside eat spiders and insects. They will also feed on human food, especially meats and sweets. Unlike Bees, Wasps do not make honey or store food.
