for their food and care. The queen cares for her first larvae brood, all of which are infertile female workers. She feeds them daily with freshly-killed insects. The queen’s subsequent broods of fertile males and workers are raised by workers. The nest grows bigger and more heavily populated as summer progresses. With the coming of cold weather and the cessation of wasp activity, death occurs to all but the queen which are left to find a niche suitable for hibernation.
Thus, the earlier in the season the nest can be destroyed, the fewer are the wasps to be controlled.
Wasps can be identified by the nests they build. Globular, paper-mache nests concealing multi combed structures are peculiar to hornets and yellow jackets.
Polistes, or paper wasps, build single layer, open-faced, umbrella-shaped nests.
Cicada killers build underground nests. The mud daubers construct the clay cell nests.
