Unlike bees and yellow jackets, hornets seem to be pretty harmless at first sight, as they are not big fans of sugary foods. They won’t get in contact with human beings; they will not sting you and your family members or buzz around your favorite ice cream until it comes to protecting their nests from strangers. Threatened hornets get really aggressive when they have to defend their home. So, our advice to you - don’t mess around with those guys!

Removing a hornet nest is very dangerous. Stings are at the very least painful, with some people being allergic, hornets can put their lives at risk. If you notice that there are more hornets in your attic beam or any other place than usual, then there is probably their nest somewhere around. Make a quick tour in and outside your house paying attention to the covered areas such as roof eaves, garden sheds, attic rafters and so on.

Why are hornets building nests in my area?

When spring sets in, the queen starts searching for a new location to start her colony. Hornet nest can be located anywhere, in places like bushes, trees, hedges, attic beams and other concealed areas of a house. As already mentioned, hornets are not attracted to sweet things. Yet garbage and food scraps look very appealing to insects like hornets. That is why, we highly recommend that you keep your garbage bins outside the house sealed. This can prevent them from coming to your property in the first place.
