Threats From European Wasps
Thrive In The Australian Climate
European wasps Vespula germanica are one of the most common wasps in Sydney and the rest of Australia. They are native to Europe, temperate Asia and North Africa. The warmer climate of Australia allows these wasps to thrive in larger numbers as some nests can house more than 100,000 wasps.
Their Size
A European wasp is 15mm long and has a size similar to that of a bee. They have a bright yellow body with a distinctive V marking. It also has two long black antennae and bright yellow legs.
Growing Population
The lack of predators and the climate in Australia allow the population of the European wasps to go unchecked. They inhabit around human habitations where they can get their food. They can be found scavenging at picnic areas, yards, food processing factoring and especially residential homes.
Their Sting
The sting of a European wasp is very painful and highly inflammatory, causing burning pain, swelling, and redness. They are known to sting their victims repeatedly. Their repeated stings can trigger allergic reactions and cause the life-threatening anaphylaxis. There have been recorded cases of stings that caused death in Australia.
Protect Against Wasp Stings
Being stung by a wasp is a painful experience. For some, it can be life-threatening. Wasp stings can cause some victims to suffer allergy and anaphylactic shock. Wasps are pests to avoid outdoors at all costs. You can never be sure on your reaction to a wasp sting!
However, we can reduce the risks of getting stung by taking precautions when going outdoors. We should watch out for wasps and keep away from their nests. Wasps can attack in large numbers if they are disturbed or threatened so care must be taken. If there is a wasp nest in your property, make sure they are treated and removed by a wasp pest control expert.
