Wasps
Hymenoptera, also known as Wasps, are related to the bee and ant family. There are more than 120,000 different species of wasps found everywhere in the world except Antarctica. Out of all of those species these are the top 4 species that are native to Michigan: Yellowjackets (Vespula Species), Paper Wasps (Polistes Dominulus), Cicada Killers (Sphecius Speciosus), and Bald-Faced Hornets (Dolichovespula Maculata).
There are a few practices that can help keep Wasps from wanting to build nests around your home and yard. Regularly search and get rid of nests before they have a chance to get larger, pick up any trash, seal garbage cans, cover compost piles, position wasp deterrent plants around your home or areas that you frequent outside, remove any access to food around your home, fill in any holes in the ground, and keep your windows and doors closed.
Wasps are very aggressive and guard their nest by stinging any threat to their habitat. Unlike bees, wasps can sting their target multiple times.
