Moving swarms of wasps and their nests

The wasp is a flying insect of the order of hymenoptera,of the underclass of pterygotes, (group of neoptera)which includes many species. The most common in Quebec are Vespula vulgaris and Vespula germanica.

It is not very hairy when compared to the bee or bumblebee. Its body is black with yellow or white stripes depending on the variety.

Its essential role in the ecosystem.

Wasp contributes to the balance of the ecosystem in part because, like the bee, it promotes pollination. Unfortunately, her sting is violent, it causes a painful allergic reaction which in some cases can be fatal.

When she takes up residence and settles in an attic, under a roof, in masonry joints or in garden trees, it is really best to call in an expert exterminator from Montreal.
