Ive got an old shed on the back of my property that hasnt been used in a few years. I finally got around to clearing it out this weekend but I started too late because ive already got wasps starting to nest.
What kind are these? Paper wasps usually have some yellow, I thought? My plans of cleaning the disgusting windows are on hold until I murder these things.  Attached File |

We call those paper wasps here in Kansas. Hot tempered they are.

In Texas we just all them “Red Wasps” and they come in a few different patterns. We have slender yellow and black ones too…that we mistakenly call “Yellowjackets” but yes, they are paper wasps and make the honeycomb nest without the paper cocoon around the outside like other wasps and hornets.

Looks like a variety of paper wasp. Usually not so large open nests, unlike like hornets or yellow jackets.
The ones around here are aggressive if you start getting too close to their nests but not so much out in the open away from their nest. |

Alive wasps so you fail. Go on amazon and buy this and spray your house every 3 months. Listen to the label or itll look like an elephant jerked off on your house.https://a.co/d/a56V8Su

Paper wasps. Those aren’t super aggressive and usually won’t sting you unless you give them reason to unlike those stripped ones that seem to live solely to sting me.
Pick up some wasp spray and just hit the nest with it. They’ll leave. |

If you leave them alone hey kill things that actually do us more harm. I can clean within inches and they do not attack. Go after their nest they get nasty but I like spiders and wasps because they kill dirty bugs..
Now Yellow jackets those are not wasps those are hornets and they are just mean for the sake of mean Mud dabbers are similar wasps that make those cement looking nest. Again, they eat the bugs we actually don't want, roaches, silver bugs etc Wasps and spiders are our allies, IMO (Except widows and recluse) |

They are between a proper window a storm window, i might have to figure out how to fog them somehow. To make matters worse, there is a window AC in that window and its kind of high off the ground.
Ive got no problems with random wasp nests near eves, but these things are going to find their way inside, i know it. |

Leaving the super predators alive and around you place will do more to keep the bugs down than all the spray and poision and gasoline that you could ever use. Wasps, spiders, centipedes, all get a ride outside in my place via yogurt cup and paper under it, to go out into the world and eat insects. |

I opened the big top lid on a dumpster, must’ve put my finger right next to the wasp & touched it a little. The bastard got me right by the base of my fingernail, it was as close to the nail as is possible. The pain was shocking, like how the hell could something that small inflict that much pain. I won’t say it’s the worst pain I’ve ever felt but it was, by a wide margin, the most painful insect sting / bite I’ve ever experienced. Evil bastards. Be careful if you go messing around in there OP. Place like that could have a massive years old nest in it. |

That is the mutha-fuckin-bonafide big industrial strength red wasp variety.
Not aggressive, you say? That’s bullshit. The only sole purpose in that red wasps life is to fuck your shit up. If you see it in time, kill them with all authority of nuclear weapon known to man. Yes, I said IT and THEM because when one of them determines YOUR DAY is gonna suck, he summons his buddies, who are just as angry, and they proceed to make damn sure your day sucks, as will the next couple days at each sting site. KILL THEM!!! |

Red Wasp. Paper wasps are black and yellow.
Red wasps are meaner IMO. Had a nest of the reds in the shed where I kept my riding mower. Went to pull it out one summer and had one of those red bastards come after me and sting me in my eye lid. Mother fucker aimed for my eyes. I gave my mower away. Pulled the shed to the edge of my property, and now pay a dude to cut my grass. FUCK that shit. They win. |

Wasps, spiders, centipedes, all get a ride outside in my place via yogurt cup and paper under it, to go out into the world and eat insects. Nope. Stihl back pack sprayer/blower, right mix of chemicals (knock down, growth inhibitors, etc), right application schedule and method = nothing lives, land or sky. If it lands in my yard or on my house, it dies. ETA: Also tempo dust is great at killing hives/nests. I killed a ground nest last year the size of basketball. Those little bastards starting buzzing up to escape. Then silence. It was a strangely satisfying feeling. Those fuckers had gotten my dog in the face and body earlier that day. |

This is what I use..........
 Attached FileAbout this item Kills wasps, yellow jackets, mud daubers and hornets Entrapping foam stops wasps instantly Jet spray reaches nests up to 20 feet above ground allowing you to stand a safe distance from the nest Kills insects that return to the nest Pinpoint accurate foam reaches nests under roof eaves, around carports, doorways, window frames and other outdoor areas |

MIL had those in TX. We tried several OTC stuff, before calling an exterminator, Orkin. They said the OTC stuff, will kill the existing nests, however, it leaves the wasps scent behind, which will attract another nest. They guarantee their product, with a money back guarantee. An exterminator, here in AZ, had to remove a bee hive in our walls, between the brick & interior plaster board. They said, bleach in a spray bottle, around all entry points, or where wasps were trying to make nests. Kills their scents. |

Red wasp and paper wasp are not as aggressive as yellow jackets and bald face hornets… but if you F around with them you’re fixin’ to find out.
Red/paper wasp stings dwarf yellow jacket, bald faced hornet, and bee stings. SOOO much more painful. I popped the cap off a well head once, tearing the sizable paper wasp nest underneath in half. I got stung like a dozen times and they beat my ass. |

The exact species of wasp in your picture is Polistes Metricus.
Two summers I got stung by one on my deck. The bastard followed me 15 or 20 feet from his nest and decided to tag me.  Some Youtubers who like doing videos of themselves getting stung have rated this wasp's sting worse than a bald-faced hornet. |

You've made your home a Superfund site of toxic chemicals. Not where I'd want to live, but cancer treatments are more and more successfully. Gotta laugh - some dude seems 3 flying insects and rushes off to fire up the backpack blower, getting white chemical dust all over his face. "Ha, who's flying now you bastards?!?! Damn this cough, need to see the doctor about it sometime." |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Red Wasp What we call them. Not fun critters. If you find a nest of them in the shed, douse them with a cup of gasoline. The sudden cooling from gas evaporation makes them drop like flies. Once they all hit the ground, squash without mercy, the hit the nest with a second cup of gas, light it, burn the shed down. It's the only way. |
