Wasps
Wasps are known for their aggressive behaviour and can sting multiple times if they feel threatened. Their stings are painful and may cause severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
While wasps contribute to pest control by preying on small insects such as cockroaches, their presence near living or working spaces poses a serious health risk.
Yellow Paper Wasp (Polistes dominula)
One of the most commonly encountered wasps in Singapore, the Yellow Paper Wasp is easily recognised by its distinctive yellow and black markings. These wasps are often found in urban environments, where they build papery nests under eaves, balconies, roof corners, and tree branches. While generally non-aggressive, they will defend their colony if threatened, and can deliver multiple stings when provoked.
Wasps are often feared due to their aggressive behaviour and ability to sting multiple times. Their presence near homes or public spaces can cause anxiety, especially as their stings are not only painful but may also trigger severe allergic reactions in some individuals. Social wasps are the most likely to sting, particularly when they perceive their nest to be under threat.
If you spot a wasp nest,
Do not attempt to disturb or remove it yourself. Wasps can sting multiple times, as their stingers are smooth and retractable. If stung, monitor the area for swelling or signs of an allergic reaction. While most stings are mild, those with allergies should seek medical help without delay. Professional removal is strongly recommended to safely deal with wasp nests near homes or business premises.
