Wasps
Bees are important pollinators and are typically less aggressive unless their hive is threatened. They can be spotted around flowers and gardens. These docile 'good guys' are unlikely to be the ones invading your home.

Wasps have slender bodies and are more likely to build nests around homes, decks, eaves, sheds, and other structures. They can become aggressive when defending their nests.

Hornets tend to be larger in numbers, but smaller in appearance. Depending on the species, they may build large aerial nests in trees, and shrubs. Other species build nests in the ground, in vents, and cracks/crevices of the home. Because of their protective nature and difficult to access nesting locations, hornet encounters can be especially dangerous.
