European Wasps
Wasps belong to the same family as honeybees, but are considered to be a more dangerous pest than the much milder honeybee. This European wasp — Vespula germanica — is found in its native state in Asia, North Africa, and Europe. It was only after the Second World War and the increase in international traffic and trade that it spread to Australia, New Zealand, South America and South Africa.
In Australia, you may find these wasps in cities like Melbourne, Adelaide, Victoria and New South Wales, but they have not managed to reach the inner country areas. These wasps live in colonies, in tree trunks, hedges, sheds, roof cavities and voids from where they can fly out in search of food and water.
How Harmful Are Wasps
Wasps are not destructive in the given sense of the word, because they normally and for food in the shape of flies, caterpillars, grubs, honeydew and other protein and carbohydrate food. However, they have this bad habit of stinging. A bee can sting its victim only once before it dies. This is not the case with wasps. That is why any sort of wasp colony in your vicinity needs to be removed by professionals, because they are a danger to animals and humans.
