摘要：

Between 1977 and 1989 the social wasp Vespula germanica colonised mainland Australia and became established in New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia. Accidental transport between towns is the main mechanism of spread. In many towns wasp nests have not been detected until they became widespread; therefore, eradication is difficult. Successful eradication has, however, been achieved in many other towns. Nesting places vary considerably among localities but relatively little among years at any one locality. Peak wasp abundance occurs between January and April. Control of V. germanica nests costs Australia an estimated $600,000 (Aust. $) annually.
