How to Identify Hornet Infestations?

Hornet Nest Under Eaves

Spotting Hornet Nests Around Your Home

Hornets build large, papery nests often found under eaves, tree branches, sheds, or attic corners. Spotting one is a clear sign of infestation.

Hornet Swarm Activity

Increased Swarming or Aggressive Behavior

Hornets are territorial. Frequent sightings of hornets flying aggressively or swarming may signal a nest nearby.

Hornet Damage to Wood

Chewed Wood or Fiber Damage

Hornets chew wood to create their nests. If you notice rough or scraped wooden surfaces, they might be harvesting material for nest building.

Hornet Sting

Unexplained Stings or Reactions

If you or pets are getting stung unexpectedly around the yard, hornets might be nesting nearby and feeling threatened.

Hornets Near Openings

Hornets Hovering Near Entry Points

Seeing hornets enter cracks in siding, roof gaps, or vents? These may be entry points to hidden nests inside walls or attics.

Buzzing Sounds Indoors

Buzzing or Humming Sounds in Walls

Persistent buzzing noises coming from walls, ceilings, or vents can be a sign of hornets building a nest inside your structure.

Why Do Hornets Invade Homes?

Hornets typically invade homes or nearby structures when searching for safe nesting spots, especially during warmer months. They are attracted to sheltered areas like attics, wall cavities, and eaves. Sweet smells, open food, or even bright lights can also draw them closer to human dwellings.

Prevention Tips

How to Get Rid of Hornets?

Hornet Spray

Use Hornet Sprays Safely

Specialized hornet sprays can be used to eliminate nests from a distance. Spray in the evening when hornets are less active, and always wear protective clothing.

Seal Entry Points

Seal All Entry Points

Close gaps in siding, soffits, vents, and window frames to prevent hornets from nesting inside walls or attics.

Nest Removal

Remove Hornet Nests Carefully

If the nest is small and accessible, you can remove it using a trash bag and proper protection. Never attempt removal if you're allergic or unsure—call a professional.

Hornet Deterrents

Use Natural Deterrents

Planting hornet-repelling herbs like mint or spraying citrus oil solutions around windows and decks can help deter hornets from nesting nearby.

Check for Moisture

Inspect for Moisture Sources

Hornets often nest near water. Check for and eliminate leaks, clogged gutters, or standing water around your property.
