Wasps
In Australia, thousands of wasp species coexist with us. While many of these insects play a vital role in our ecosystem, particularly in plant pollination, the presence of introduced species like the European Wasp has posed significant challenges. These aggressive invaders often crash outdoor gatherings, form large colonies, and have earned a notorious reputation for their disruptive behaviour.
The Dangers of Wasps
Wasps, particularly when agitated, can be dangerous – they are capable of inflicting painful stings that may trigger severe allergic reactions in both humans and animals. Additionally, their presence can lead to financial losses for commercial and rental properties, and cause structural damage to buildings by nesting in wall cavities.

ADELAIDE WASP IDENTIFICATION
European Wasps (yellow jackets in the USA)
European wasps has a nasty sting, unlike bees they can sting multiple times. Found around homes and gardens, public places such as BBQ areas, cafes/restaurants and fresh food markets. Do not attempt to control them yourself.
European wasps search for rich protein foods to feed their larvae, such as pet food, meat from BBQs and picnics as well as insects and spiders.
European wasps have a negative impact on the environment due to the large number of insects and spiders they consume, this in turn puts pressure on our native insects and birds as food becomes scarce.
Issues European wasp cause are:
- They sting multiple times
- European wasps are aggressive
- European wasps could cause an anaphylactic reaction in a person who is allergic to bees
- They set up nests in wall cavities that can damage properties

- If there is significant pain and swelling, over-the-counter pain medication (such as paracetamol) or an antihistamine may give some relief.
If the person has an allergy to wasp stings, they can experience anaphylaxis. If this occurs, they will need an injection of adrenaline (EpiPen®).
First aid for serious reactions or multiple WASP stings
- If someone has been stung in the mouth or stung many times in a single incident (adults more than 10 times or children more than 5 times) they need to be taken to hospital.
- Call triple zero (000) and ask for an ambulance.
- Keep the person lying down and completely still (immobilised) until the ambulance arrives.
