What pests are wasps and hornets killing? The wasps and hornets *are" the pests to me.

Not sure about hornets, but I know wasps eat a lot of herbivorous bugs like aphids and caterpillars.

A lot of people see eating caterpillars as one of the "bad" things wasps do, but population control is necessary if we want crops.

All hornets are wasps.
