Do you know these facts about Wasps?
✔ Colony Life
Wasps live in colonies with a strict hierarchy—males, workers, and queens. Each has a different role, ensuring the survival and expansion of their nest.
✔ Stinging Females
Only female wasps can sting, and unlike bees, they can sting repeatedly without dying.
✔ Aggressive Signalling
Wasp venom contains pheromones that alert and provoke nearby wasps. Attempting to swat a wasp near its nest can trigger an aggressive attack from the entire colony.
✔ Potential for Severe Reactions
While a wasp sting’s pain may wear off within a couple of hours for most people, for some, it can lead to anaphylactic shock, a severe allergic reaction that can be life-threatening.
✔ Winter Survival
Only young fertilised queens survive the winter. Workers, males, and older queens typically die off in colder weather.
✔ Diet & Scavenging
Wasps often eat dead invertebrates and can even scavenge on carcasses. This opportunistic diet is part of why they are frequently found near rubbish bins, pet food dishes, and picnic areas.
✔ Diverse Appearance
Wasps come in various sizes, shapes, and colours. They are not exclusively black and yellow—some have orange, white, or even green markings.
Understanding the Dangers of Wasps
Wasps can be far more than a nuisance:
✔ Aggressive Behaviour – Wasps are territorial and often attack when threatened. A single disturbance can trigger a swarm, leading to multiple stings.
✔ Allergic Reactions – Wasp stings can cause severe allergic reactions in some individuals, potentially leading to life-threatening anaphylaxis.
✔ Property Damage – Certain wasp species build large, complex nests in wall cavities or roof voids, causing structural damage over time.
Don’t put your health or property at risk. Let our licensed wasp removal professionals handle the problem safely and promptly.

Difference Between Wasps and Bees
It’s common to mix up wasps and bees, but there are clear distinctions:
Physical Appearance
- Wasps: Slender bodies, narrow waists, smooth exteriors, and thinner legs with little to no hair.
- Bees: Rounded, fuzzy bodies with noticeable hairs and thicker legs.
Diet
- Wasps: Feed on insects, dead animals, arthropods, and also scavenge human foods.
- Bees: Feed primarily on nectar and pollen from flowers, playing a key role in pollination.
- Nest Material
- Wasps: Build nests out of chewed wood and saliva, giving them a papery texture.
- Bees: Construct hives from wax they secrete, often producing honey inside.
Stinging
- Wasps: Can withdraw their stinger and sting multiple times.
- Bees: Typically leave their stinger behind in the skin, dying shortly after stinging (particularly honey bees).
Understanding these differences can be important when deciding on the right pest control approach. If you’re unsure whether you’re dealing with bees or wasps, call our experts at Wasp Removal Melbourne for an accurate assessment and a free quote.

Vinegar acts as a natural wasp deterrent due to its strong smell and acidic nature, which masks attractants and disrupts wasp communication. While vinegar can help reduce wasp activity temporarily, it does not eliminate existing nests. For comprehensive control and lasting results, professional services from Wasp Removal Melbourne are recommended.
Wasps are sensitive to strong smells, and vinegar’s potent aroma repels them by masking food scents and disrupting their ability to locate resources. This makes vinegar an effective, non-harmful deterrent. However, for complete nest removal and long-term prevention, relying solely on vinegar is insufficient. Professional removal ensures wasps are eradicated safely.
