I never knew they were guinea wasp. We grew up calling them yellow jackets. I took ten pops to the hand when I was six or so trying to pull something "fuzzy" feeling out from an old tractor implement.

All these years I've been calling Guiena Wasp yellow jackets, while my wife always calls them a wasp. Durn, should I tell her she's been correct these past 33-years?

The first pic is a yellow jacket, second is a Guiena Wasp, that is, according to the internet.

And BOTH of those suckers have an "attitude" too!! That RAID wasp and hornet spray will drop those guinea wasps straight down off a nest... The same spray only pizzes off yellow jackets... for some reason, it does not kill them hardly at all... If you can find the Yellow Jacket nest in the ground (or sometimes in an old log lying on the ground), pour warm soapy water generously on it, and they will die on the spot... Same for bumble bees... For some reason the wasp sprays does not take out the various bees like it does wasps...
