Why You Need Professional Hornet Control & Nest Removal
Hornets are not your average flying pests. Known for their painful stings and defensive behavior, hornets can become hostile in seconds, especially if you get too close to their nest.
Hornet Stings and Structural Dangers
Unlike bees, hornets can sting multiple times. A swarm attack can be dangerous for anyone, but especially for children, pets, and people with allergies. Hornet nests, often hidden under roofs, in trees, or inside wall voids, can also cause structural damage over time if left untreated.
Why DIY Hornet Nest Removal is Risky
Trying to spray a hornet nest on your own is not only ineffective, it’s dangerous! Don’t do it.. Without the right equipment and safety measures, you risk provoking an aggressive response. Professional removal ensures the nest is fully eliminated and prevents future infestations from forming in the same spot.

Hornet Species and Nesting Behavior
New Jersey is home to several hornet species, including the bald-faced hornet and European hornet. Each has different nesting habits and aggression levels, which is why proper identification is key to effective removal.
Ground Hornets vs Aerial Hornets
To start, some hornets build aerial nests. Usually, its gray, papery structures are attached to tree branches, roof eaves, or high corners of buildings. Others, like ground hornets, burrow in lawns or under bushes. These nests are harder to spot and often get disturbed accidentally.
When is the best time to kill ground hornets?
Late evening or early morning is when hornets are least active, making those the safest times for removal. However, the best season to remove them is late spring through early summer, before the nest becomes too large and dangerous.

Hornet Control FAQs
-
Can hornets kill you?
While rare, hornet stings can be life-threatening, especially for those with allergies or in cases of multiple stings. Their venom is more potent than that of bees, and their aggressive behavior makes them one of the more dangerous pests to deal with. Never try to remove a hornet nest on your own.
-
How dangerous is a hornet nest near my house?
Very dangerous. Hornets are territorial and will attack in swarms if they feel their nest is threatened. A nest near high-traffic areas like patios, doorways, or windows is a serious risk.
-
Will hornets return after nest removal?
Hornets don’t typically reuse old nests, but if entry points or nesting conditions remain unchanged, new colonies may form. That’s why our service includes sealing access points and offering prevention tips.
-
What time of year is best for hornet extermination?
The earlier in the season, the better. Spring and early summer are ideal, as nests are smaller and easier to remove. However, we perform hornet control year-round depending on the situation.
