The Signs of Hornets

Don't Ignore These Warning Signs

Frequent Hornet Activity

Seeing large hornets repeatedly flying around the same section of your property often means a nest is nearby.

Visible Paper Nest

Hornets build large gray, paper-like nests that are commonly found in trees, under eaves, inside sheds, or attached to other protected structures.

Increased Aggressive Behavior

Hornets become especially defensive when people or pets get too close to their nest, increasing the risk of painful stings.

Buzzing Around Rooflines

Regular hornet activity near soffits, roof edges, garages, or attics may indicate a hidden nest inside or near the structure.

Growing Nest Size

Hornet colonies continue expanding throughout the warmer months. A small nest discovered early can quickly become a much larger problem.

Stings Around Your Property

If family members, guests, or pets have been stung while spending time outdoors, an active hornet nest should be inspected and removed as soon as possible.

Common Hornet Control Questions

How Do I Know If I Have a Hornet Nest?

If you regularly see large hornets flying to and from the same location, notice a paper nest attached to a tree or structure, or experience increased hornet activity around your property, it’s likely that a colony has established a nest nearby. A professional inspection can confirm the source of the activity.

Hornets tend to be more aggressive when defending their nests and can sting multiple times. While they generally avoid people unless disturbed, nests located near homes, patios, or walkways can create a significant safety concern.

Attempting to remove a hornet nest without proper equipment can be dangerous. Disturbing the colony often causes hornets to swarm and aggressively defend the nest. Professional removal helps reduce the risk of injury and ensures the nest is properly eliminated.

Hornets are typically most active during the spring and summer, with colonies reaching their largest size in late summer and early fall. Early removal is often the safest and most effective option.

The cost depends on factors such as the nest’s size, location, accessibility, and the treatment required. We provide detailed inspections and upfront estimates before beginning any work.
