European Wasp Control
European wasps have black and yellow stripes, with black spots down their abdomen and yellow legs. They are about 20mm long and a little bit bigger than a bee. The European wasp (also known as Vespula germanica) is local to parts of Europe, Asia and North Africa. European wasps can be categorised as a pest because they are far more aggressive than local wasps. This insect opts to live around humans due to the prepared supply of sustenance, especially of the sweet assortments.
As stated before, European wasps are much more aggressive– they are attracted to food and drink, particularly sweet food and meat (this is why they show up at barbecues) . European wasp nests have thousands of wasps. Each of them can sting a victim many times and a very painful sting from an European wasp can lead to a red swelling and serious allergies in sensitive people.
If you can see numerous wasps flying around your property, there is most likely a nest somewhere–within 50 to 200 metres distance. You are strongly advised not to deal with the wasp infestation by attempting to remove the wasp nest on your own as that can agitate the wasps.

A colony may have up to 25,000 wasps. Over winter, most of the colony dies, with only the young queen wasps emerging in spring to build nests and lay eggs. Workers take over nest building in summer, which is when homeowners may begin to experience problems with them.

European Wasps nest in hollow trees, bushes and abandoned animal burrows. Near houses or indoors, they build nests in sheltered locations with easy access to the outside, such as in garages or lofts. They prefer sweet foods in summer, which is why they’re attracted to homes. This is when worker wasps can become pests to humans. Female wasps will sting aggressively and repeatedly to defend the nest.

THEIR STING
The sting of a European wasp is very painful and highly inflammatory, causing burning pain, swelling, and redness. They are known to sting their victims repeatedly. Their repeated stings can trigger allergic reactions and cause the life-threatening anaphylaxis. There have been recorded cases of stings that caused death in Australia.
Being stung by a wasp is a painful experience. For some, it can be life-threatening. Wasp stings can cause some victims to suffer allergy and anaphylactic shock. Wasps are pests to avoid outdoors at all costs. You can never be sure on your reaction to a wasp sting!
However, we can reduce the risks of getting stung by taking precautions when going outdoors. We should watch out for wasps and keep away from their nests. Wasps can attack in large numbers if they are disturbed or threatened so care must be taken. If there is a wasp nest in your property, make sure they are treated and removed by a wasp pest control expert.

Protect Against Wasp Stings
The lack of predators and the climate in Australia allow the population of the European wasps to go unchecked. They inhabit around human habitations where they can get their food. They can be found scavenging at picnic areas, yards, food processing factoring and especially residential homes.
