Wasps usually only get really stingy if you disturb their nest or come way too close to it.

I’m from germany, and it indeed is in summer, even in large cities.

Do German wasps attack you unprovoked like ours do?

Apparently that’s a myth according to every source I could find about wasps in the US.
They seek out your breath, so people start panicking swinging wildly and running away, which in return might be considered a threat.

Yes, if you leave them outside at summer. No wasps in bakeries or coffeeshops in Finland.

God I love the Finns. Finnish coffee sounds amazing too.

There seems to be a vast gulf here. American wasps will fukin attack you for fun. So you kill them first.

Do they really attack on sight?
Here it’s usually that they seek out the breath because of the monoxide and people start panicking because the ly fly into their face and seemingly wont go away. So they Start swinging their arms at the wasp and it feels in danger and attacks.
Easiest solution is to hold breath and walk away if they bother you.

If you are too close to the nest, they will send out scouts, and then you can expect an attack. Kill them first.

That’s true and it’s kind of bad to have them where you’re walking daily.
Theyre an important part of the ecosystem though. Pest killer number one.
