About Ground Nesting Wasps
Ground nesting wasps are slender, often black or yellow insects that build their nests in bare soil or sandy areas, commonly found around homes in Franklin and Brentwood. These beneficial predators help control garden pests but can become a nuisance if their nests are disturbed, leading to defensive stings.
