Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions — Hornets

Hornets are generally larger and can be more aggressive when defending a nest, and their sting can be more painful, so professional removal is strongly recommended over DIY methods.

Hornet nests are typically exterminated rather than relocated, since safe live removal of an aggressive colony is far riskier than with docile bee species.

Nests can grow through the season and reach a substantial size by late summer, which is why early removal — as soon as a nest is spotted — is recommended.
