But, because they are aggressive and stings can cause severe allergic reactions, it isn’t safe to have them around residential or commercial areas.

Common Wasps In The Seattle Region
Yellow Jackets are well known for stinging people and the most commonly encountered in Washington. Wasps, unlike bees, are narrow and smooth and shiny. They mostly prey on insects, including caterpillars, flies, and crickets. They also love to seek out human food and garbage and are usually seen at picnics and campgrounds around Seattle and surrounding areas. Wasps establish a new nest each spring and rarely re-use their old nests, and they love to build their nest in attics of garages, barns, and sheds. If you have been stung, the Washington State Department of Health offers tips on how to treat the sting on their site.
Paper wasps are less aggressive than yellowjackets and don’t usually sting humans unless their nest is close to humans. Paper wasps are similar in appearance as yellowjackets but are slightly darker and are more slender with longer legs. Their nests can house nearly 250 wasps. We usually recommend if a nest on your property to call a professional to remove the nest to avoid being stung.
