Hornets

Hornets can be found around homes during the autumn months of the year. Hornet problems occur because they typically make nests in openings and on exterior furniture and light fixtures. They will also set up residence under light fixtures, deck railings and eaves of homes creating even more hornet problems and hornet damage.

Identifying Hornet Problems

There are two “hornets” commonly found in the United States: the European hornet and the bald-faced hornet. These are two of the largest stinging insects. The bald-faced is actually a black and white yellow jacket approx 3/8 inch long. The European hornet is a true hornet with yellow, amber and brown markings Adults are typically over ½ inch long and the queen can be 7/8 inch long.

Locating Hornet Infestations

Bald face hornets build aerial nests (football shaped) most often in trees but can be found on the side of a building or in shrubs. Like yellow jackets, nest reaches full size late in summer with 400-600+ wasps.  These hornets are not as aggressive as yellow jackets but can be if disturbed.

European hornets have smaller nests usually in hollow voids, trees and attics. They are not very aggressive, but still have a dangerous stinger.
