What is a French field wasp?
As spring arrives, we see more and more insects, including wasps. However, there is a special kind of wasp that is increasingly seen in our country, the French field wasp. So what makes the French field wasp different from the well-known lemonade wasp? First of all, the appearance of the French field wasp is different. This wasp has long legs, a slimmer body, orange antennae and is predominantly black with yellow transverse stripes. In addition, the French field wasp is not interested in your soda or fruit like its more aggressive relatives. This wasp feeds adequately on insects and nectar from flowers, but if you have wooden garden furniture the wasp will nibble off pieces of it. So the French field wasp comes onto the patio, but does not bother people.
French field wasp nest
In addition to its appearance, the French field wasp nest is also different. In fact, it does not make one large nest, but 10-50 small nests. The nests are made by several females that often come from the same nest. After the nests are built, the most dominant female becomes the new queen and will lay most of the eggs. As many as 15 to 200 wasps live in the nests.
French field wasp sting
The French field wasp is known to leave people alone and is therefore considered less aggressive than the well-known lemonade wasp. The French field wasp only stings when danger is imminent. For example, when you come near the French field wasp nest. Like the lemonade wasp, the sting of the French field wasp can cause an allergic reaction. Think of swelling, severe headache, sharp drop in blood pressure and in case of a severe reaction even cardiac arrest.
French field wasp control
Controlling the French field wasp is not necessarily necessary, but is done when the nests are in places where they are clearly a nuisance. Because the French field wasp makes multiple and well-concealed small nests, it is not easy to control. It will also sting the moment you get too close to the nest. So don’t go to work yourself and get help from one of our professionals.
