Primary Seasons: Spring, Summer, Fall
Hornets are the largest species of wasp and are known for being extremely aggressive. While hornets play a vital role in nature they’re not an insect you want around your home. Due to their aggressive nature and ability to sting multiple times, it’s best to have hornet nests removed quickly and professionally.
HOW TO IDENTIFY MY HORNET INFESTATION
When compared to wasps hornets have wider heads and larger, more rounded abdomens. The colors and markings of hornet species also differ from wasps. The two most common types of hornets in the United States are the Bald-Faced hornet and the European hornet. The Bald-Faced hornet will have black and white markings while the European hornet will have an orange head and yellow bottom.
