Hornets are more than just a painful sting—they can become a serious concern when they decide to build nests close to your home or business. At AP Pest Control, we know how alarming it can be to see these large, aggressive insects buzzing around your property. That’s why we focus on removing hornet problems quickly and carefully, so you and your family can feel comfortable outdoors again.
Hornets typically build their nests in hidden, sheltered areas such as tree branches, under roof eaves, inside sheds, or wall voids. These nests can grow fast and attract more hornets, increasing the risk of stings. We start with a deep dive to find every nest. Our priority is a thorough inspection to locate any existing nests. This step is crucial because treating just the hornets without dealing with their nest won’t provide lasting relief.
Once we find the nest, we use specialized equipment and products designed specifically for hornets. We carefully remove the nest during times when hornets are less active, usually early morning or late evening, to reduce the chances of aggressive behavior. The goal is to eliminate the entire colony in one go while minimizing disturbance to your property.
After removing the nest, we treat the surrounding areas where hornets tend to gather or rest. This includes woodpiles, outdoor furniture, fence lines, and shrubbery. The treatments we use are designed to control hornet populations quickly and discourage them from coming back. These products also have a lasting effect to protect your home for weeks after the service.
Hornets are persistent insects that can return if conditions are right. To help you keep hornets at bay, we’ll provide simple but effective tips such as sealing gaps around your home, maintaining your yard by trimming back bushes, and regularly clearing away debris where hornets might build new nests. Regular check-ups during the warmer months also help catch any new nests early, preventing bigger problems down the road.
Choosing AP Pest Control means choosing a team that understands hornet behavior and knows how to treat infestations with care and precision. We're committed to providing fast, thorough, and hassle-free service so you can get back to enjoying your property without worry. If hornets are causing trouble, reach out today and let us handle the problem efficiently and effectively.
Hornets can be aggressive defenders of their nests, and having them too close to home can quickly become a serious concern. Knowing what to look for can help you catch a hornet issue before it gets out of hand. Here are some key signs to keep an eye on.
The first and most obvious sign is spotting hornets flying around your home or yard more frequently. These insects are larger than wasps and have a louder buzz, so they’re hard to miss. If you're noticing several in a short period, chances are they’re nesting nearby.
Hornet nests are typically gray and shaped like a football. They’re made from chewed wood pulp and usually found in trees, bushes, under eaves, or even in sheds or attics. If you see one of these hanging structures, it's best not to disturb it—hornets will defend it aggressively.
Hornets build their nests using wood fibers. If you notice small chewed areas on your wooden deck, fence, or even furniture, they could be harvesting materials. This kind of activity often means a nest is either present or being constructed nearby.
Hornets become territorial when their nest is threatened. If you’ve experienced a hornet suddenly zooming toward you while gardening or spending time outdoors, it's a strong sign you're close to their territory. Backing away calmly is the best move in that situation.
If you’re hearing a consistent, loud buzzing coming from an attic, wall void, or tree in your yard, there could be a hornet nest hiding just out of view. These sounds often get louder as the nest grows and activity increases.
If you're noticing one or more of these signs, it's best to have the area professionally assessed. At AP Pest Control, we don’t just treat the symptoms—we identify the source and remove hornet nests in a way that reduces risk and helps keep your outdoor spaces comfortable again.
Hornets often get lumped in with bees and wasps, but they have distinct characteristics and behaviors that set them apart. These flying insects can be intimidating, especially when they show up near homes or businesses. Whether you're dealing with a hornet issue or just want to understand them better, here are some surprising facts worth knowing.
While often spoken of separately, hornets are a type of wasp. The most well-known species in North America is the European hornet. Compared to other wasps, hornets are larger, with more robust bodies and noticeably louder buzzing. Their appearance alone tends to make them more feared than they typically deserve.
Hornets are extremely protective of their nests. They’ll defend their colony if they sense any threat, whether it’s a human walking nearby or an animal that gets too close. Unlike bees, which usually sting only once, hornets can sting multiple times and may do so in a group if the nest is disturbed.
Hornets tend to build nests in tree branches, wall voids, attics, sheds, and under eaves. Their nests have a paper-like texture, made from chewed wood mixed with saliva. These structures can grow rapidly in size during the warmer months and may house hundreds of hornets at a time.
Despite their reputation, hornets do have a role in balancing nature. They’re predators that feed on flies, caterpillars, and other insects, helping to reduce pest populations. However, this benefit rarely outweighs the danger of having them build nests too close to where people live or work.
Hornet stings are painful and can lead to swelling, redness, and in some cases, allergic reactions. While not all stings are dangerous, multiple stings—or a sting to someone who is allergic—can be a serious medical concern. It’s always wise to keep your distance from an active nest.
Hornets are powerful insects that play a part in nature but pose a risk when they establish nests near people. Knowing how they behave and where they tend to live can help you avoid unpleasant encounters. If you suspect a hornet issue, it’s best to leave removal to trained professionals with the right equipment and experience.
