Question

can u tell me more about the europian wasp and y they are pests

Answer 1

European wasps are an exotic pest established in the eastern
States but not yet established in W.A. Every year hundreds or
even thousands of fertilised European wasp queens are
accidentally transported into W.A. in freight, boxes and
containers of merchandise. Most of these queen wasps die before
they can make a nest but every year some nests are produced

Why European wasps are pests:

European wasps attack bees and bee hives, robbing the hives of honey and sometimes completely killing hives.

They also directly damage soft fruits and can cause substantial damage to grape crops.

European wasps have even been reported cutting pieces of flesh from cows' teats.

Environmentally, they are damaging through direct predation on native insects and competition with other species including birds.

Tourism is adversely affected in areas where they are plentiful because wasps are attracted to foods, drinks and BBQ's in outdoor areas.

They can be a significant urban pest and the cost of having a nest destroyed by professional pest control operators is expensive -costs range from $50 -$350/nest in the Eastern States.

European wasps can sting several times in an attack and stung victims can require medical attention. Fatalities have been caused by reactions in allergic patients and by multiple wasp attacks where nests have been disturbed.
