Hornet Nest Removal

There are two types of hornets in our market:  Bald Faced Hornets and European Hornets. Let us take a look at what each looks like:

Hornets are more prone to sting when they feel threatened. A single hornet can sting once or multiple times, and sometimes hornets swarm and can cause tens or hundreds of stings.  Hornet stings can be extremely painful, and sometimes life threatening, which is why you want to hire a hornet exterminator right away to safely remove a hornet’s nest from your property!

All hornets are wasps, but all wasps are not hornets.  The major difference between wasp and hornets is size and color. Wasps are about 1/3 inch to 1 inch long. Hornets are larger. Wasps have black and yellow rings, while hornets have black and white rings.  Hornets are distinguished from other wasps by their wider heads and larger, more rounded abdomens; they also have a different life cycle.

The best way to get rid of hornet’s nest is to have professional pest control company remove due to the threat of upsetting the hive and risking multiple stings. At Environmental Pest Control, our pest professionals wear full body protective suits so they cannot be stung.  We also have the appropriate equipment.  We use the proper chemical to safely remove the nest.  We have telescoping poles to easily reach hornet’s nests that are high in trees.  Additionally, as always, a quarterly pest control plan on your property will provide year round protection from all pests and rodents and we can ensure a hornet’s nest doesn’t form in the first place.
