German Wasp (Vespula Germanica)
Wasps form nests in roof spaces, trees, banks, soil, and cavities. The nest is made from chewed wood (paper). Colonies of wasps only survive one winter in the United Kingdom.
Wasps tend to be more of a nuisance if the nest is close to or inside buildings or premises. A wasp sting is painful but very rarely lethal. Allergy to venom from wasp stings can occasionally cause anaphylactic shock that can be lethal. Medical attention should be sought immediately. However, wasps can be helpful to gardeners as they keep aphids and insect numbers in control as they feed on grubs and carrion (high protein) as part of their diet. Adult wasps feed on a mainly sugar diet, for example sap, fruit etc.

Pupae - develop in 2 weeksAdults - workers are female and between 10 - 20mm long. The queen is about a third larger.
Wasp control
Protective clothing is highly recommended to avoid being stung. Residual sprays and dust formulations are normally used, although aerosols can also be part of the treatment of wasps. Control can be relatively easy if the nest is accessible. However, care must be taken when treating loft spaces in case bats are in residence.
