Common Wasp & Hornet Nest Situations in Dauphin County

Bald-Faced Hornet Nests

Bald-faced hornets construct large enclosed aerial nests made from layered paper material.

These distinctive gray or tan nests may be suspended from trees, shrubs, roof overhangs, eaves, and other elevated locations.

A mature nest can contain a large colony and may become increasingly active as the season progresses.

Yellow Jacket Ground Nests

Some yellow jackets establish colonies underground.

The nest may be located inside an abandoned animal burrow, natural cavity, or other underground space.

A small hole in a lawn, garden, landscaping area, or other part of a property may be the only visible sign of a much larger colony below the surface.

Repeated yellow jacket activity entering and exiting the same opening may indicate a subterranean nest.

Yellow Jacket Nests Inside Homes

Yellow jackets may establish colonies inside wall voids, attics, ceilings, soffits, rooflines, and other concealed areas of a home.

The nest itself may not be visible.

Instead, homeowners may notice yellow jackets:

  • Entering cracks or openings in the exterior
  • Emerging from walls
  • Appearing inside rooms
  • Flying around attics
  • Entering soffits or rooflines
  • Appearing around windows or light fixtures

The location where yellow jackets are seen may not be the exact location of the nest. Wasps may travel through concealed spaces before emerging through another opening.

European Hornet Nests

European hornets are cavity-nesting wasps.

In natural environments, they may establish nests inside hollow tree trunks and other enclosed cavities.

Around homes, farms, and other structures, European hornets may also establish nests inside wall voids, attics, chimneys, roofline cavities, sheds, barns, and other enclosed areas.

Paper Wasp Nests

Paper wasps construct exposed open-comb nests.

These nests are often attached beneath protected surfaces such as roof overhangs, eaves, porches, decks, sheds, barns, and other structures.

Unlike the enclosed nests of bald-faced hornets and many yellowjackets, the individual cells of a paper wasp nest are generally visible.

Cicada Killer Burrows

Cicada killers are large solitary wasps that excavate individual underground burrows.

Suitable areas may contain numerous separate burrows, often with small piles of excavated soil near the entrances.

Although multiple cicada killers may occupy the same general area, they are not a single communal colony like yellowjackets or hornets.

Not Sure What Type of Wasp Nest You Found?

Wasp and hornet nests can look very different depending on the species involved and where the colony has established itself.

A large enclosed gray nest hanging from a tree may be a bald-faced hornet nest.

Yellow jackets entering a hole in the ground may indicate a subterranean colony.

An open-comb nest beneath a porch or roof overhang may belong to paper wasps.

Large hornets entering a hollow tree, wall opening, attic, or other enclosed space may indicate a cavity-nesting species such as a European hornet.
