Hornet Control & Removal
Hornets are a type of large wasp that belong to the genus Vespa. They are typically larger than other species of wasps, with some hornets reaching up to 2 inches in length. Hornets are known for their distinctive black and yellow striped bodies, and they have a reputation for being aggressive when their nests are disturbed.
Hornets are social insects that live in colonies, which are typically found in protected locations such as hollow trees, attics, or wall cavities. The colonies are usually made up of a queen, male drones, and female workers. The queen hornet is responsible for laying eggs, while the workers are responsible for caring for the young, gathering food, and defending the nest.
Hornets are predators and feed on other insects, spiders, and other small animals. They are also known to feed on nectar and pollen, and can play a role in pollination.
While hornets can be beneficial for controlling pest populations, they can also be dangerous to humans if their nests are disturbed. Hornets are known to defend their nests aggressively and can deliver painful stings that can cause allergic reactions in some people.

The stingers of hornets are smooth, which means that they can sting multiple times without losing their stinger, unlike honeybees that have barbed stingers that get stuck in the skin after one sting.

Hornet Life cycle.
Life cycle of a hornet typically involves several stages, which are described below:
-
Egg Stage: A female hornet lays eggs in a nest. The eggs are usually white and oval-shaped.
-
Larval Stage: The eggs hatch into larvae, which are worm-like and have no legs. The larvae are fed by worker hornets and grow rapidly.
-
Pupal Stage: The larvae spin cocoons around themselves and enter the pupal stage. During this stage, they undergo metamorphosis and transform into adult hornets.
-
Adult Stage: The adult hornets emerge from the cocoons and are fully formed. They are capable of flying, reproducing, and building their own nests.
The length of the hornet life cycle varies depending on the species and environmental conditions. For example, in the case of the European hornet (Vespa crabro), the entire life cycle can take up to four months, while in the case of the Asian giant hornet (Vespa mandarinia), it can take up to six months.

Hornet Nest Treatments.
There are several methods to treat a Hornet nest, and the most appropriate treatment will depend on the size and location of the nest.
Here are some of the most common Hornet nest treatments:
-
Insecticide sprays: Insecticide sprays that are specifically designed to kill Hornet can be an effective treatment method. These sprays should be applied directly into the entrance of the nest during the night when Hornet are less active. It is important to wear protective clothing and follow the instructions on the label carefully.
-
Dust insecticides: Dust insecticides can also be used to treat a Hornet nest. The dust should be applied into the Hornet entrance or around the nest, and can be an effective treatment for hard-to-reach nests.
-
For very hard to reach nests in cavity walls and roof spaces we will undertake fogging treatments.
